The rise and fall of the Third Reich has been a source of revulsion and fascination since the close of the Second World War. The images of the concentration camps; Hitler's hypnotic oration; and the vast Nuremberg rallies are seared into the collective consciousness. However, it is important that we understand the complex circumstances which allowed this particular branch of fascism to flourish. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
The story of the White Buses is sad, moving, exciting and inspirational.

Weal's writing is always a pleasure to read and if you have any of his previous translated personal accounts such as Hanning's 'Luftwaffe Fighter Ace' then this is worthy and interesting book.

The author conveys the events during the Siege of Breslau very well. For those who are interested in the history of this lesser known aspect of the Second World War, this publication is certainly a recommendation.

Traces of War
This fascinating book follows the 144th Regt, RAC (Royal Armoured Corps) from landing, on D-Day +8, through the Normandy campaign, into Belgium/Holland, and ultimately across the Rhine. It does so in part through the memoirs of several who served in the regiment, leaning particularly heavily on the writings of Marcus Cunliffe... All in all, an excellent book. Well worth reading.

This title as part of the Images at War series is another great title in the line up as the images do show the demise of the German force very well. The stress of war and being pushed from one defensive location to the next and I believe realising that the writing was on the wall for them can, to a good degree be seen in the faces depicted on many occasions. The equipment is a nice mix and covers most of the vehicles in use by Germany including some of the rarer items such as the half track mounted Panzerwerfer. I doubt you will ever gather this many period photographs for a price as low as this book can be obtained for and that is before you factor in the great captions.
