The 6th Waffen-SS Gebirgs (Mountain) Division \”Nord\”: An Illustrated History
by Massimiliano Afiero from Schiffer Publishing

Available Now

This book is the complete history of the 6th SS Gebirgs (Mountain) Division “Nord” in WWII. Formed in 1941, “Nord” was employed along the Finnish–Lapland front against battle-tested Soviet forces from 1941–44. Following the signing of the armistice between Finland and the Soviet Union in the summer of 1944, the division was moved to the western front. “Nord” units took part in Operation “Nordwind,” the final German offensive on the western front in late December 1944, where they fought against American units for the first time. Tough defensive fighting along the Moselle and Rhine fronts followed up to the armistice in May 1945. The units of the division fought to the last, always with courage and valor, distinguishing itself as one of the best German units employed on the western front. Detailed operational history, rare combat images, maps, and personality profiles make this book the definitive history of “Nord.”

I bought the book last week and it provides all I want to know, as it is about a rather forgotten unit in terms of coverage. Many interesting pictures of the unit in all campaigns with maps and detailled chapters depicting battles, losses, structures, equipment and personalities showing the rise of a rather rag tag unit to a formidable battle hardened division. Debriefing reports of unit members to the battles and the descriptions of battle are close enough to get a good picture of single actions and the events when reading. I bought the book because I wanted to know more about the events in 1945 in Germany like f.e. in the Büdinger Forst- and I was glad to read a lot to that, too, as you ususually only get scetchy information on that. Massimiliano used a lot of sources, archives and personal reports to draw this clear picture- and thanks for the interesting online copy of your magazine about Axis forces that are as well researched, too. I think you have a very dedicated team of authors producing historical valuable books.

The Book ""In final Defense of the Reich - The destruction of the 6th SS Nord"" is good too, imo
