CASE WHITE: THE INVASION OF POLAND 1939

by Robert Forczyk







The German invasion of Poland on 1 September, 1939, designated as Fall Weiss (Case White), was the event that sparked the outbreak of World War II in Europe. The campaign has widely been described as a textbook example of Blitzkrieg, but it was actually a fairly conventional campaign as the Wehrmacht was still learning how to use its new Panzers and dive-bombers. The Polish military is often misrepresented as hopelessly obsolete and outclassed by the Wehrmacht, when in fact it was well-equipped with modern weapons and armour. Indeed, the Polish possessed more tanks than the British and had cracked the German Enigma machine cipher. Though the combined assault from Germany and the Soviet Union defeated Poland, it could not crush the Polish fighting spirit.

BESIEGED: THE EPIC BATTLE FOR CHOLM

by Jason D. Mark 

Kampfgruppe Scherer’s outstanding feat of arms was one of Germany’s most famous military achievements during the Second World War. With only a few thousand men from all branches of the service, Generalmajor Theodor Scherer was ordered to hold Cholm in the face of a superior enemy force. That Scherer and his men prevailed is now an historical fact but at times senior commanders doubted if it could be saved. On several occasions, Soviet onslaughts looked poised to inflict the death blow but somehow the exhausted men of Cholm grimly clung on.

ARMOURED FARMER: A TANKIE'S TALE

by Malcolm Cleverley


Amusing recollections of a tankie with 3rd Royal Tank Regiment (3RTR) during the Cold War years. The author looks back on his eventful years from 1976 to 1992 with 3RTR, known as "The West Country's Own" or "The Armoured Farmers". His recollections of the mischief that he and his colleagues got up to in their snorting metal monsters whilst on various deployments around the UK and Germany certainly make for enjoyable reading, and he takes great delight in recording their antics for posterity.
