Der EINSATZ der ORDNUNGSPOLIZEI 1939-45

[Ian Jewison]

I have now bought Steve's book and that also should be arriving on Thursday.....so, it had better be good

Incidentally Steve, I have came across your site only the other day when I was looking for books on this subject, however at that time, I only found reference to your other book on the web and by searching Amazon...today however I find your book without any problem ....the mysteries of the internet

Hello Ian,

Well, I hope you like it. If you do, and have time, please write a review for it on Amazon. If you don't like it, well forget what I just said.

If you see any errors or have any questions please let me know. I have additional information now on some of the battalions. My email is on the website and in the book.

Yes, it is a mystery to me how the Internet, and finding things works. I have found things, told myself "Oh, don't worry - you can find this again easy enough." Of course then I was never able to get back to the site.

Regards,

Steve

Hi Larry,

Since I'm mainly interested into pictures, may you tell me more or less how many pictures related to the Polizei units in North Italy and Balkans are present into the Steve book?
(and, if someone have it, into the Michaelis one?)

Best Regards

[Larry deZeng]

T.K. -

I will take a look and get back to you, but I do not think there are more than a few covering your geographical area of interest.

T.K., I believe we're interested in the same subject. I ordered the book and will let you know !

[PBR]

Thanks boys!!
I will wait you there.

Best Regards

[Larry deZeng]

T.K. -

There are a total of 4 photos for the Balkans, none for Italy: 1 small shot taken somewhere in Croatia that does not show German police, and 3 shots taken in or around Novo Mesto/Slovenia that have police in them. The other c.150 photos were all taken in Poland, Russia and the Reich. Sorry.

Larry

[PBR]

Hello Larry,

Thank you very much.
If I don't ask too much there's any chance to have a scan of the 4 pics?

Thanks a lot anyway

[Larry deZeng]

Sorry, I don't do scans. Maybe someone else here will help you.

[PBR]

Thanks anyway.

The book is in English. I would say 90% of the fotos were never published. They come from the authors collection. For scans of the book see:

I've got Michaelis book few days ago and it's very interesting. With my poor german,it will take a while since I finish reading it, but it's filled with informations divided per regiment and with awesome pictures I didn't see on other publications. Definitely worths the money!

[Ian Jewison]

Mine arrived last week but to be honest not had the time really to go through them yet.....my initial thoughts are both are detailed in their own rights...

Michaelis has an in depth study of the Polizei Regiments.

Steve's as the title suggests Polizei Bataillon.

I would say you definately need both in your library if you are a Polizei collector!!!!

My copy arrived this last week too. It's a useful addition to the literature already available on the subject, which is not great in any case. A 130 page book cannot IMO be called in depth, given the number of battalions and regiments involved. It gives the very basics of information which range from a couple of lines to a page for each regiment and from a couple of lines to about a dozen line paragraph for battalions.

Unfortunately it lacks the names of commanders, detailed OOB and TO&E charts and lists of the higher award winners. The most you get are how many battalions made up each regiment along with their fp numbers.


the level of information to be found is more or less on a level with that available at the Lexikon.
