SORRY - SOLD OUT
This volume begins with a fascinating sequel to
the detailed account given in Volume Four on the suicide of Gestapo chief
Heinrich Himmler — the description of the return visit to his secret grave
in northern Germany by the two British Army gravediggers — exactly
thirty-two years after the event. A wide selection of other articles cover the
Battle for San Pietro in Italy — still left today as it was in 1944; a
return visit to seek out wartime wreckage in the Solomon Islands; an account of
the two largest wartime explosions in the United Kingdom and a detailed
description of the death of the Polish General Sikorski at Gibraltar airfield in
July 1943 and the controversy which still surrounds the accident today.
Fifty-odd pages are devoted to an in-depth account of all Hitler's headquarters
with maps giving their precise locations and photographs showing their condition
today. This is the first major account published on the 'Fuehrerhauptquartiere'
and many new photographs and facts are included. Additional features describe
battles in France, Belgium and Holland with stories of the making of war films
and the recovery and restoration of military equipment dating from the Second
World War.
