Several days ago I learned that the former Untersturmführer Felix Benesch of the "Prinz Eugen" has died on December 2. I understand that he had a heart attack in Vienna where he lived. His photo can be found a number of times on this thread as he was very active in the "Prinz Eugen&qu...

Thanks for providing us with the current status of these eagerly awaited books.

Happy Birthday Hugo! Another year has gone by and I am glad to know that you are still around. Best wishes to you for the coming year.

I finished reading my copy of the book today. The many years of extensive research that the authors put into this project was evident throughout. It's a great book and well-written with plenty of new original period photos and plenty of good maps. I thought that the authors did an excellent job of c...

Peter - Glad to see that your book is doing well.

Scott - I certainly look forward to reading your book. However, I wish it was more than 155 pages long. I would have liked to see 300 pages which I would have thought possible after the years of extensive research that I know you put into this project. I suspect it was a publisher deciion to limit t...

If I am not mistaken, Dr. Adalbert Lallier is the first former member of the Waffen-SS to have his own Web site. http://adalbertlallier.com/book Dr. Lallier was a former member of the 7.SS-Freiwilligen Gebirgs Division “Prinz Eugen” after 1942 and was attending officer school in Leitmeritz where he ...

I just finished reading the last page of Peter's new book that arrived in the mail two days earlier. The quality of both text and images is excellent. This book is much more than a collection of captioned photos. There are plenty of interesting details in this book that the author could have only ob...

I have the same three books by Pliever that I bought over 25 years ago which I have enjoyed reading multiple times.

Charles - I found your new book on Amazon and anyone can see from the cover by following this link that the exact title is The Old Breed. http://www.amazon.com/MARINE-DIVISION-DANS-LENFER-PACIFIQUE/dp/2840483424/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1362527456&sr=1-7&keywords=charles+trang ...

Through these two books Mark Yerger has performed a genuine service to the memories of the veterans of the Polizei Division. Anyone reading these books will be absolutely awestruck by the courage and sacrifice of this division that Mark Yerger describes in great detail and in a very readable manner....

Charles - Thanks for the explanation. This sounds interesting and you appear to have found a treasure trove of good archival material. Did any USMC vets work on this book with you? Did all of your material come from NARA or did you also work with the USMC University at Quantico, VA? Who wrote the Fo...

Charles Trang said, My last book has just been published but it does not concern the German army. So, just a few words here : its title is "The Old Breed" and it is about the 1st US Marine Division through its campaigns of WWII (420 pages with about 800 photos, most of them having never be...

I just finished reading my copy of DKiG Vol 6 for the second part of the SS Polizei Division and found the usual quality and attention to detail along with new original photos that are typical of this series. Cat lovers will be especially pleased with this book along with Mark's new rendition of a D...

Thanks Jason!
