Is there a newer version of the German Cross in Gold book?

It also appears that there are two distinctly different web sites.

http://www.militaria-biblio.de

http://www.reprint-biblio.de

is the newer site and highlights the Admirals and Generals and the Knights Cross series.

It is interesting. My dealings with dealers and publishers in Germany have ranged from outstanding to abysmal. It seems that there is nothing in between.

Yes, it is Patzwall. It doesn't list the citation with the award, but it contains over 21,000 recipients with only a few spelling errors that I have been able to find so far. I have had my copy for about a year now.

I purchased a directory of German Cross in Gold winners directly from Biblio Verlag. Besides taking a while to arrive since it was sent surface mail from Germany, it is a great book.

70. Infanterie-Division was largely made up of soldiers with stomach problems who required a special diet, hence the nickname "White Bread Division", around a cadre from 165. Reserve Division. It was stationed on Walcheren Island, the Netherlands, and was attacked by the Commonwealth force...

I am looking for an explanation of the difference between army officers in the DAL T list as opposed to the DAL S list.

Thanks to everyone who posted all the great information. Actually it helps explain several other items that were part of the same group. One was a calling card for Reinhard Heydrich. Another is an atlas of German in a large book format that is signed on the inside of the front cover that is signed b...

I am looking for any information about this Obersturmbannfuhrer. I have a large format death card that states that he died in Italy on 21 October 1944 .

While these important revelations can be made regarding the quality of training and experience can be made for the soldiers of the Wehrmacht, the same can not be said of the airmen of the Luftwaffe. A good portion of them had already gained combat experience in Spain. The rotation system developed g...
