Hi Richard, I have dug a little further.Tony le Tissier identified the Officer who wrote the Diary as Dr Walter Kroemer,who in 1945 was a Leutnant in Panzer Division Muncheberg .I checked le Tissier's notes in his book Race for the Reichstag,and in the notes he confirms that he had contact with Dr K...

Hi Richard,

As far as i can tell going through my collection,the source for the quotes appear to lead me back to Jurgen Thorwald's Das Ende an der Elbe, published in Stuttgart 1950.

Hi Richard, Thanks sharing the info of your trip to Seelow . Me and my wife were planning a Berlin trip this summer and the Seelow Museum was one of the place we were going to travel to,but due to being made redundant we have had to reschedule. Out of interest is your next book after the Breslau boo...

Hi Stephan, I have come across a website that may be of interest to you.It is about the POW camp for special prisoners at Bridgend Wales,it held a large number of senior German Officers at the end of WW2 including Generaloberst Gotthard Heinrici.The site contains photos and profiles on most of the m...

Berlin at War by Roger Moorhouse.Very good book !

Le Tissiers book Kustrin 1945 draws heavily on both the Thrams and Kohlase works.

Hi, I am researching Operation Zitadelle.During my research i came upon a a BBC Documentary called Timewatch,it was broadcast in September 1993.During the the documentary Waffen SS veterans met up with Russian Veterans at Prokhorovka.It was quite amazing that 50 years on to see veterans in such a te...

Just finished Le Tissiers book on Kustrin and its got to be the best Endkampf book ive read in a while.The best bit about the book is the first-hand accounts Le Tissier has collected,as well as the after action reports from the CO Reinefarth and NSDAP leader Hermann Korner.You begin to think he has ...

Hi Stephan, Thanks for the reply.The book sounds stunning :up: :up: :up: I was aware of volume 2 when i saw it on Amazon a couple of weeks ago,they are running good pre publication offers on both books,needless to say i will order the two of them in the next week or so. I am quite amazed that you pl...

Hi Stephan,

I am really looking forward to your next book The Oder Front 1945.As well as and Operational overview of the battles Army Group Vistula fought,is there many first-hand accounts in the text ?

Many Thanks

Ron

it was quite hard to shift. Regards Ron But not as hard as it was to read, though, Ron. :D The only drama I found in it was the title... There's a much better book by Hinze on the summer 1944 fighting, Rückkämpfer 1944 , which is an anthology of first-hand accounts. You can find copies for about £1...

Hi I purchased Rolf Hinze s East Front Drama 1944,The JJ Fedorowicz edition.I must agree with Richard its a very hard book to crack on with ,there is no first person accounts to liven up the text.I read the book then sold it on E Bay and from what i can remember it was quite hard to shift. Regards Ron

After purchasing it more than a year ago i have started Tony le Tissers The Siege of Kustrin
