Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 'Hermann Goering'
Greenhill Books (Verlag)
978-1-78438-610-8 (ISBN)
In the early years of the Third Reich, Hermann Goring, one of the most notorious leaders of the Third Reich, worked to establish his own personal army to rival Himmler's SS and Reichswehr. The result: a private Prussian police force which grew into one of the most powerful armoured units in Nazi Germany's Wehrmacht.
This unit fought throughout the Second World War, meeting Anglo-American forces in vicious battles across the European theatres of Tunisia, Sicily and Italy before finally being defeated by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. The Hermann Goring Panzer Division incorporates technical details of these battles with the turbulent politics and Machiavellian manoeuvring of Hitler's inner circle, giving military-history enthusiasts fresh insights into the development and role of this unusual division through the war.
Drawing on first-hand accounts and extensive archive material, World War II historian Lawrence Paterson presents a comprehensive and unbiased history of the establishment of the famous 1/. Fallschirm-Panzer Division.
Lawrence Paterson has written several books on various aspects of the U-boat war, including _U-Boat War Patrol_, _Weapons of Desperation_, _Hitler's Grey Wolves_, _Hitler's Brandenburgers_ and a biography of Otto Kretschmer. He lives in Taranto, Italy and is drummer in a heavy metal band. Professor Richard Overy is a British historian and a Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He has published several books on Nazi Germany and World War II including a biography of Hermann Goring, _Goering: Hitler's Iron Knight_. In 2001, he was awarded the Samuel Elliot Morison Prize of the Society of Military History for his contribution to the history of warfare. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, the British Academy, and of King's College London.
