Bridgehead Kurland is the exciting account of the little-known struggles of Heeresgruppe Kurland in the waning months of World War II. Although there were six separate attempts by the Red Army to crush the German forces in the Kurland Bridgehead in the Baltic, they held out against massively superior forces. Despite revisionist claims by the Soviets after the war, the fighting in Kurland resulted in the pinning of large numbers of forces and, ultimately, an unsuccessful campaign. Once again, Franz Kurowski has brought to life many fascinating aspects of an Eastern-Front campaign that has heretofore received little attention in the West. In addition to providing a strategic overview, including not only the ground forces but also the role of the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine, he provides an intimate "you-are-there" look into much of the fighting. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 326 pages.

For the first time in English, the full story of Otto Skorzeny's mysterious Panzerbrigade 150 and its part in Operation Greif - the deception plan designed to both seize bridges over the Meuse and cause mass confusion among the allied troops by issuing false orders and spreading rumors of defeat. This was to be accomplished through the use of SS commandos wearing American uniforms and riding in captured US vehicles. Many accounts have previously been written about these operations, all of them inaccurate to greater and lesser degrees. In this meticulously researched account Mr. Schadewitz accurately presents the whole story and in doing so shatters many of the numerous myths surrounding this ambitious, but ill conceived, operation. Also, the author explores the fate of the SS commandos, some of whom were shot as spies. Includes 97 black and white photographs and 28 maps. ; 1999-04-03; 6.3 X 0.79 X 9.45 inches; 352 pages.
