SORRY - SOLD OUT
The geographical spread of this 31st bound volume of After the Battle stretches right around the world - from the snowbound streets of the Soviet Union to the sunny climes of the Mediterranean; from the lush paradise of the Pacific to the barren landscape of rocky Iceland.
In Europe, investigations are carried out into the true story of Odette Sansom (later Churchill) serving with the Special Operations Executive; the circumstances behind the death of the US commander of the European Theater of Operations, General Frank Andrews; and the mystery solved concerning the last flight of the RAF's leading photo-reconnaissance ace, Wing Commander Adrian Warburton, missing for over 50 years.
Then Jean Paul Pallud details the Allied push to the Rhine in November 1944, and Ron Hogg and Editor Karel Margry tell the story of the 900-day siege of Leningrad. Michael Foedrowitz gives a fascinating insight into the many varied designs of German air raid shelters using those constructed in Hannover as an example - a feature nicely contrasted by the British Admiralty's bomb-proof headquarters built in the heart of London.
Other features cover the detective work carried out by two dedicated US civilians to put names to America's unidentified dead; the amazing escape from a crash of one of Ireland's aviator heroes; the devastating explosions on a munitions train in Wiltshire and the recovery of Canadian relics from Kent; a bitter tank battle in Italy and the capture of Mussolini's residence on Lake Como; the preservation of a V1 launch site in France and the reconstruction of one of London's blitzed churches in Missouri in the USA.
