GERMANY [World War II]

Withers, Andrew [Ministry of Defence (Navy) H.M.S.O.]

(Book #ID 88133)

Published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, London First Thus Edition 1989. 1989.

First thus edition hard back binding in publisher's original slip case. Olive cloth covers, silver title to the spine. 4to 12'' x 8½''. Contains 3 volumes in 1 [x] 119; [xii] 126; [x] 151 printed pages of text with 5 folding diagrams in a separate folder 'The U-Boat War in the Atlantic diagrams 1-32'. After WW2, Fregattenkapitan Gunter Hessler (a son in law of Donitz) was given free access to the war diaries and other primary sources of the German Navy to write a history and analysis of the U-Boat offensive in the Atlantic. It covered many aspects such as general strategy, signals intelligence, tactics and weapons, adopting a largely German viewpoint. It also investigated Allied countermeasures and the response of the U-Boat Command. Written at the request of the Admiralty, the 3-volume work was classified material never available to the general public. This facsimile edition of the volumes, with a fresh introduction by Lt. Cdr. Andrew Withers,is a valuable addition to the published history of the war,and contains information available nowhere else. Corrections and explanations have been added to the original text-incidents puzzling Hessler can be better understood, for example,now that we have the full story of British Intelligence Work in deciphering German Signals. For students of military,naval or intelligence history The U-Boat War in the Atlantic is a unique account, not least because the many charts and diagrams allow the record of each U-Boat to be traced, including its deployment on any particular day.

Baxter, Ian

(Book #ID 111730)

Published by Spellmount Ltd., The Mill, Stroud, Gloucestershire Probably First Edition 2010. 2010.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black paper covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. The story of the SS of Treblinka is a highly compelling one. This book provides vivid descriptions of events in the camp from the point of view of the men that witnessed them. Using interviews, personal letters, and unpublished diaries, some supplied by historian Marcin Zborska in Warsaw and published for the first time, Ian Baxter gives a fascinating insight into the camp that saw the murder of some 800,000 Jews. The book paints a chilling picture of the staff at Treblinka, showing the SS-men during breaks from their murderous activities, relaxing in their barracks, or visiting the camp zoo with their families. Diary extracts will allow a reader inside the heads of these men who, in some cases felt themselves fortunate to be posted at Treblinka. The inner working of the camp are exposed here in unprecedented detail, from the techniques of mass murder to the bizarre rituals that developed within the camp. Contains 175 pp with archive monochrome photographs throughout. Donation copy directly from the publisher to Kent Arts Archive Library, Canterbury, Kent. This has been stored in the trust's archive and has not been circulated as a lending book with labels neatly removed from the front free end paper, title page excised.
