Kriegsmarine
general editor:
robert jackson
Kriegsmarine is an illustrated history
of Germany’s naval forces before
and during World War II, from the
successes of World War I, the years
of rebuilding after the Treaty of
Versailles, the rebirth of the U-boat
fleet and the new pocket battleships,
and on to the early campaigns of
World War II, the U-boats’ initial
success before losses mounted, and
finally the small-scale actions that
characterised much of the navy’s
activity later in the war.
Panzer
general editors:
niall barr & russell hart
German armoured forces were a
key component of the Wehrmacht’s
Blitzkrieg tactics that quickly
conquered Poland, the Low
Countries and France before 1940.
However, as the war progressed,
the Allies learned how to counter
the German tactics, and in the final
years German armour was on the
defensive. Panzer is an illustrated
history of the German armoured
forces throughout the conflict.

 Luftwaffe
general editor:
dr john pimlott
The Luftwaffe reigned supreme
in the early years of World War II,
developing new combined-arms
tactics to produce the Blitzkrieg that
quickly conquered Poland, the Low
Countries and France. However,
later in the war, it had to develop
new fighters to counter the Allied
bomber threat. Luftwaffe provides a
full pictorial record of the German Air
Force, from the testing ground of the
Spanish Civil War to the final days of
the Reich.
Stalingrad
will fowler
In early October 1942 the German
Sixth Army realised that it had one
last chance to break through the
Soviet lines and capture Stalingrad
before exhaustion and the Russian
winter set in. Stalingrad: The Vital
7 Days examines this last attempt
by the Germans to win Stalingrad
and how the Red Army managed to
cling on against the odds, marking
the turning point of the war on the
Eastern Front.
