The Pzkpfw III tank was the mainstay of the Panzer divisions during the Blitzkrieg era and made up the bulk of the armored force sent to North Africa. Although less heavily armored than many of its opponents it was sturdy and reliable and its main armament was the equal of any enemy weapon it was called upon to face. Operating in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth the Pzkpfw III was at the forefront of the dramatic advances of 1941 and the defensive efforts of the following year, all undertaken in the incredible vastness of the Libyan desert. This volume of the TankCraft series concludes the story of the tank’s North African service, examining the models that took part in the campaign beginning with the retreat from El Alamein and ending with the surrender of the last Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943.

In modern naval warfare, offensive and defensive mine operations and the ships that perform them often take a back seat to the more glamorous carrier strike groups, strategic deterrence patrols and anti-submarine operations. Despite their relatively small size and numbers, minecraft have enormous strategic and tactical value. With more than 200 photos, this book details the histories and specifications of more than 2,200 vessels that have served as minelayers and minesweepers, from World War I to today. Rare examples include the U.S. Navy's only purpose-built mine-laying submarine, and the remarkable 36-foot "mini minesweeper."

Tanks are the symbol of modern warfare and the most important military innovation since gunpowder. Their development was a response to the static and trench warfare that characterised the First World War, where available military technology favoured the defenders over the attackers. Their introduction on the battlefields, and the impressive technological evolution that took place between the two wars, changed the way of conceiving combat forever, and Germany was the driving force behind this process with studies, research and designs churned out at a steady pace from the 1920s onwards. This book traces the history of the German Panzer from the first A7Vs to the studies carried out during the Weimar Republic up to the grand rearmament conducted by Adolf Hitler's regime. A history of military technology that made giant strides in little more than twenty years, able to catch up with France and England to finish ahead of even the United States and the Soviet Union. The book covers almost one hundred armoured vehicles in the time span from the First World War to the outbreak of the Second, which began with the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. A history of the Panzerwaffe told through its tanks, the real protagonists of the Blitzkrieg and of Germany's resounding victories in the early years of the conflict.

The Evolution of Tactics that led to Victory in World War One! When the men of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery went to war in 1914 they lacked training, had insufficient guns and ammunition, and clung to a strategy that emphasized manoeuvre and direct-fire engagements. When the opening phases of the Great War came to an end and the conflict became static siege warfare, Canadian gunners had to grow and adapt. By the spring of 1917, the weapons, men, tactics and battle experience of the Canadian and allied artillery forces had evolved sufficiently to allow the artillery to smash German defences and free the infantry to advance. If you are a student of Canadian history, a military or armchair historian this is the book for you. Iron Indignation is a book for any proud Canadian looking to learn more about pivotal moments in Canadian history and explore the Great War, The Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Canadian Corps, and the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery.

In December 1943, five courageous correspondents join a British air raid on Berlin. They are Australians, Alf King from the Sydney Morning Herald and Norm Stockton from the Sydney Sun; Americans, Ed Murrow from CBS and Lowell Bennett from the International News Service; and Norwegian journalist and activist, Nordahl Grieg. Each is assigned to one of the 400 Lancaster bombers that fly into the hazardous skies over Germany on a single night. Of the five, only two land back at base to file their stories. After parachuting out of his doomed aircraft, one reporter is taken prisoner. From there his captors take him on a remarkable tour of bombed-out German cities. In Dispatch from Berlin, 1943, Anthony Cooper and Thorsten Perl uncover this incredible true story of life on both sides of the war.

The vivid account of a war correspondent shot down over Germany and taken prisoner. Bennett was one of several journalists to fly a night raid over Berlin in November 1943. This is the vivid testimony of an American journalist shot down over Berlin. After he was captured in Berlin, he was taken on a tour of Germany and shown what the civilian population was being subjected to. Bennett spent the rest of the war in Stalag Luft I, where he started the newspaper POW WOW, secretly read by 9,000 prisoners. Bennett's experiences led him to condemn the Allied policy of systematically bombing civilian population centers. The Dunkirk evacuation in 1940 highlighted the numerical deficiencies of the RAF. When the Luftwaffe bombed Rotterdam in May, the RAF began daylight raids against Nazi Germany, which retaliated in July with bombing various British towns, then escalated to the Blitz terror bombing on major UK cities in September.

In 1945, remnants of the Polish Home Army re-formed to counter brutal Soviet repressions. In July of that year, more than 7,000 HA freedom fighters were arrested in the northeastern Augustow region and held in barns, pigsties and warehouses where they were beaten and tortured. Two thousand of them were never seen again--their whereabouts remain a mystery. Seventy-five years later, their relatives still search for answers and the location of their mass burial. This book examines the fateful events of the Augustow Roundup (a.k.a. "little Katyn") through eyewitness testimonies.

On 19 December 1938, Otto Hahn, working at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry in Berlin, conducted an experiment the results of which baffled him. It took his émigré collaborator Lise Meitner to explain that he had split an atom of uranium, which at the time seemed to defy all known laws of physics. When Neils Bohr took this news to the United States it became clear to scientists there that these results opened a completely new and, for some, horrifying possibility of energy production that could be used for both peaceful and military purposes. Scientists in Germany, France, Britain and the US began to delve deeper into the implications. But it was the British government that was the first to explicitly describe how the splitting of the atom might be utilized to create a practical weapon of fearsome power.
