I just picked up this superb book today. Every copy sold at the show I was at. All unpublished photos and plenty of maps in a German/ English text and captions. About a dozen never seen photos of the HG Korps.

Hi Willi,
I was in Denver yesterday and picked up a copy at Aberdeen Books. It is really terrific. Anyone who is interested in the "last Battles" should definately grab it.Comment

Looks great.
Couple of questions though:
1) Is there a lot of text, the more the better for me.
2) Anything on the Battle of Berlin? I noticed it has some sections on the Oder but doesn't mention Berlin.
Here's the blurb from the Amazon site:
Endkampf um das Reichsgebiet Final Battles for the Reich 1944-1945 This new book is illustrated with unique and previously unpublished imagery, documenting the German Armed Forces in action within the Reich in 1945. The photos were taken by German soldiers during the final battles which are truly rare. Also includes three very rare original colour photos. The units and topics include Panthers in action at Haff, East Prussia April 1945; the 1. Marine-Schützen-Division on the Oder February 1945; battles in Silesia Spring 1945 including Panther tanks; the fighting for 'Festung Breslau'; the actions of Fallschirmpanzerkorps "Hermann Göring" around Bautzen and Görlitz April 1945 (incl HG Panthers); the Führerbegleitdivision in Saxony (incl Jagdtigers!); the actions of the Ersatz- und Ausbildungsregiment from Fallschirmpanzerdivision "Hermann Göring" in Holland, April 1945; SS-Freiwilligen-Brigade "Wallonien" and the 4.

Anthony, I think the Amazon summary pretty accurately covers the book. Berlin is not included and it is a mixture of photos and brief history of the battles and formations. All new information and photos.Willi
