Without any real specifics to throw in with this post -- I can tell you that many of the well-known Tiger, Panther and Pz.IV commanders out there actually began in the Pz.III. The Tiger abteilungen included Pz.IIIs in the beginning... Check out the list of successful panzer commanders and check to s...

How about the same war ? There is a local vet who was shot down and captured by the Germans. He spent some time in a Luftwaffe Stalag...then managed to escape. He made his way back to Allied lines and was repatriated. He then ended up flying in the Pacific Theater and was shot down over China. He wa...

Hello all - I just wanted to post a little update -- I have the text complete sans a few corrections I'm sure - for a third "Tiger Project" book. The story of Dr. Günther Polzin will hopefully be accepted... For now - I have a little website together about the "Tiger Project" - p...

Yes - makes sense --
Where are the GD nuts ??
I was expecting some details...
I thought everyone loved Grossdeutschland !! ha ha

Can someone please tell me something about this unit:

2. Sch. Kp. mot. I.R. G.D.

This is the info on a dogtag -- I can guess that it is the 2nd Kompanie (Sch. ?) motorized, of Infantry Regiment Grossdeutschland.
Any info about the specific unit would be great.

thanks -
Dale

Thanks Dok - I did find that one as well... I have a diary from a 2./503 guy who mentions that his pz. kommander rec'd the GC in Gold...but I can't find anything to support the claim.

Does anyone have any information --on an Unteroffizier Gross who reportedly rec'd the German Cross in Gold while serving with schwere Panzer ABteilung 503 ??
thanks -
Dale

Thank you Nord ! As soon as I know anything I will post it... I'm waiting on hearing back from one potential publisher...and considering the possibility of an e-book. I'd prefer having a book printed that I can hold in my hands but the e-book option is very interesting. I'm wondering if anyone out t...

I know his leg was not the cause...and I'm not sure about any other details...but I definately remember he had a stroke. I haven't looked elsewhere online but it must be availble to find.

From what I remember -- he had lost a leg in the war -- but once he had the time to stop flying and allow his leg to properly heal I think he was rather physically fit. Sometime after the war he had a stroke but I don't remember how close that was to the end.

Are these maps available ? I am very interested in a few of them !

Hello Jan-Hendrik ! Yes - the Polzin manuscript is currently with a publisher - I am waiting to hear back from them. Unfortunately Horst passed away not too long ago. So both he and Dr. Polzin died within the past year or so. I have been in contact with another interesting Tiger veteran - a former O...

Is it possible to have a book published the traditional way as well doing an ebook available online ?
I know that as an avid reader I still prefer to have the book in my hands and on my shelf - but as someone who also would like to sell more copies of a book, the ebook option is very enticing...

Thanks John ! Well - many of you probably have already read threads on the topic of my books over the last years...I finally decided to ask John to put me on the list and I truly appreciate that it is done. First - I have to say that these 2 books are basically the memoirs of 2 very interesting panz...
