Bound Volume No. 4

SORRY - SOLD OUT



Volume Four covers issues thirteen to sixteen of After the Battle. Major features on operations in France, Germany, Italy and the Pacific — Paris, the Rhine, Cassino and Tarawa — will bring back memories of these memorable Second World War battles. The Massacre of the Royal Norfolk Regiment at Le Paradis in 1940 is balanced by the first, full, detailed description of the suicide of Gestapo chief Heinrich Himmler in 1945. The scene of the Bruneval Commando raid is revisited and also the site where an AVRE Churchill tank was buried on D-Day in 1944 - with a full description of its excavation in 1976. The war careers of Oberjaeger Max Schmeling, the boxer, and Major Anthony Quayle, the actor, are included together with other stories on the recovery of crashed aircraft, the making of war films and the preservation of items of military equipment.
