Panzergrenaiders to the Front!

Helion is re-publishing the out-of-print Panzergrenadiers to the Front!: The Combat History of Panzergrenadier Division 'Brandenburg' on the Eastern Front 1944-45 due to continued requests from readers.

This remains one of my favorite books to research and write, and provides the most detailed reconstruction of a late war German combat division's history published in English. It also provides an account of the fighting along the north wing of Army Group Center during the final Battle of Berlin, and compliments Bloody Streets in this regard. I'll state that unlike Bloody Streets this is primarily a text and map book.

New Book Release in 2022: Knight of the North Atlantic

In March 2022 Seaforth will release my next book on the Battle of the Atlantic titled: Knight of the North Atlantic: Baron Siegfried von Forstner and the War Patrols of U-402 1941–1943.

It is now available for pre-order on major book sites.

16 Days in Berlin

The revised and expanded edition of my book Bloody Streets: The Soviet Assault on Berlin was used extensively as background research for the most comprehensive documentary produced about the battle, 16 Days in Berlin: The Final Battle of WW2 Day by Day, produced by RTH – Real Time History GmbH.

This documentary was just released last month and I highly recommend it to anyone interest in a visual portrayal of the final fighting in and around Berlin:
