Brandenburger photos search

I'm looking for photos of Brandenburger members up until about late 1942- preferably something not widely viewed, such as those in Kurowski's book, etc. Pics of operations in the Soviet Union would be best- especially those in the Caucasus. Knowing a pic's owner is also important, as I plan to conta...

Sio Canal/Balaton

Anyone aware on any photos of Jagdpanthers or SU-100s operating between Budapest and Vienna (March/April 1945)?

Unpublished or private would be best as I was hoping to get permission/rights to them in a book, and it would give the reader something new to see.

Thanks,
Dave

Maikop 1942 maps

-Are there any maps available that provide some detail on the fighting around Maikop in August 1942? I'd like to see something that shows the movements of Wiking, and the various battlegroups (and the Soviet dispositions) as they moved on and through the city. -Also it would be nice to find a period...

11th Guards Heavy Tank Brigade

Does anyone have some detail on 11GHTB's actions around Arnswalde (February 1945)? Especially, its 90th, 91st, and 92nd Guards Heavy Tank Regiments. There are several references for Soviet "armor" during the siege (2/6-17) but I would think most of these are T-34 formations- not the IS-2. ...

Re: Nordland (mid-February '45)

Thanks. I managed to get a hold of Fritz Mörke's work on the Arnswalde fighting- looks like it might have what I'm looking for. I was hoping to get a hold of 2GTA's and 503SSsPzAbt's daily situational reports, etc., but none of the archive's I've contacted seem to have such records. Hopefully, the a...

Nordland (mid-February '45)

Does anyone have info about Nordland's activities from February 15-18, 1945? I was hoping to learn the details of how they opened the corridor to Arnswalde i.e. routs taken, Soviet units engaged, interaction with Voigt's command, etc.

Any info is appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Re: Fritz Herzig photo rights

Both. In a way.

Specifically, it deals with the Tiger II and IS-2, and their fight around Arnswalde (2/45). Herzig's 503rd SS happened to be the Tiger II unit involved.

I got photo use rights for Boris Eremeev (CO for 11th Guards Heavy Tank Brigade)- now I need the same for a pic of Herzig.

Fritz Herzig photo rights

I've seen some photos of Fritz Herzig (503rd Heavy Armor Battalion commander) online, but there doesn't seem to be info on who owns the rights. I'm looking to get permission to use a digital copy for a book I'm working on, but I'm not sure who to contact. Any ideas? Established sources such as the B...

SS Heavy Armor Battalion 503 (Arnswalde)

Does anyone know of a map detailing SS Schwere Panzer Abtrilung 503 during the fighting around Arnswalde (February 1945)? Not a general map showing Operation Sonnenwnde, but something showing how Voight's command of Volksturm, SS, alert units, etc. was arrayed- especially where the Tiger IIs were pl...

Photo use question

I'm finishing a book for Casemate Publishing on the Roer River battles (9/44-2/45) and would like to include some German photos related to the conflict. Unlike the US or British veterans groups that have an online presence, there don't seem to be many from the German end. The Bundesarchive, IWM, etc...
