LUCAS, JAMES Das Reich : The Military Role of the 2nd SS Division
London Arms and Armour Press 1991 1854090674 / 9781854090676 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
222 pages, 8 plates, maps, cloth, dj, fine. Reprint. From the publisher: The post-war years have revealed the full reality of Hitler's Third Reich, and accounts of atrocities considered mere propaganda during the war have been sadly substantiated. The German people themselves have joined the world in condemning those guilty of the war crimes. In consequence the SS, through error, have often been thought responsible for all atrocities, and their fearsome fighting record has only reinforced that general misconception to make the SS synonymous with the brutality and evil of Hitler and Nazism. Less well known is the fact that the Waffen SS combat divisions were an entirely separate and distinct formation and saw action in some of the bloodiest battles of the war, fighting with great courage and military skill and consequently suffering casualties that would have crippled lesser units. Their survival was due to the strict and demanding SS entrance requirements in the pre-war years, as potential recruits were screened and selected rigorously; then trained to the exacting standards necessary for Hitler's select divisions, so forming the experienced core for later wartime units. These high standards and all-round military excellence are epitomized by the Das Reich division, whose reputation for courage and hard fighting arose from their years on the Eastern Front, and which therefore is of particular importance in this work. Its devotion to duty, fearless courage and battlefield excellence is here vividly and honestly detailed: as soldiers, the men of Das Reich were as skilled and professional as any that have fought in war. Through extensive research, James Lucas has recorded their story and the history of their division in all its major battles. The result is not simply an exciting account of action and close combat: it is a remarkable contribution to the history of man at war, of the reality of land warfare and, most important, of the immense value of camaraderie and unit pride common to all fighting men.

Maps and diagrams by Anthony A. Evans. 241 pages, 20 plates, cloth, dj, very good. Book Club Edition. Foreword by the Rt. Hon. Sir Bernard Braine, DL, MP. From the publisher: Many details of this book have never before been published. Buttressed by more than 100 maps and photographs, it is the first account of the fall of the Third Reich and what happened to its soldiers as the nations that had been forcibly made a part of Hitler's satanic empire exacted their retribution. Here are the stories of quite ordinary people over whom there swept a destructive war and who have not forgotten those events although they occurred more than forty years ago. These are not merely the stories of what happened to the Germans - who had made the mistake of starting a war and then losing it - but also the first-person recollections of people of other nations.

Lucas, James The Last Year of the German Army May 1944 - May 1945.
London Arms & Armour Press 1994 1854091948 / 9781854091949 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
224 pages, 12 plates, maps, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "Germany began the last year of the war in a crisis situation; the allied landings in Normandy had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern front where Army Group Centre was soon to collapse. The Last Year of the German Army charts the 'progress' of Hitler's army from May 1944 until May 1945, when the once all-conquering German Army was finally defeated. In this absorbing study, James Lucas examines the changing structure of the army throughout this final year of war, and reveals the often surprising measures taken to confront a situation Hitler had never contemplated, and which indeed he never really accepted. The author discusses the growing opposition to the Fiihrer and the resulting attempt on his life in July 1944, which prompted him to withdraw much authority from many of his senior military commanders and give high ranking military positions to men he trusted, party comrades - a move that had a profound effect on the operations of the Army. The role of scientists and research is analysed, as are the solutions found to the many problems faced by the German Army, such as decreasing numbers of German men to fight and the inadequate equipment they were given. The author also considers the formation of military units independent of the Army and the effect this had on the Army itself. Finally he describes some of the last battles fought by the German Army, which had by no means given up its struggle, as the Allies closed on Berlin, This book completes a trilogy - covering the German Army, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine - that provides an unprecedented analysis of this traumatic period of the war. For both general and military historians the three books show the very special experiences of a military force moving from dominance to defeat, of individual bravery and dictatorial inadequacy in command, and of the many remarkable events which featured in the final year of the last World War.

Lucas, James War on the Eastern Front 1941-1945. the German Soldier in Russia.
New York Stein & Day 1980 0812827333 / 9780812827330 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
X, [2], 214 pages, 20 plates, maps, cloth, DJ, very good. From the dust jacket: "The cold of the Russian winters was so intense that firing pins snapped like glass and lubricating oil in machine guns and rifles froze solid. Survivors of the fighting tell how they got their weapons working again. . . German troops billeted in Russian peasant huts had to keep something from home close at hand to remind themselves that they were not living in the Middle Ages. Here, in their own words, and illustrated with many striking photos, are the terrifying experiences of the men who served in the legions of the Reich. It is an unforgettable portrayal of soldiers in triumph and defeat; of weapons, tactics, and of the appalling conditions of the toughest campaign in the history of warfare. " EDG_271 ; 214 pages
