Hitler's Armies on sale at The Works

During a recent visit to the branch of THE WORKS in Chatham, I spotted a hardback copy of HITLERS ARMIES: A HISTORY OF THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE 1939-45 on sale for just £10.00 ... a discount of £20.00!

The book is a compilation of elements from some of the myriad of Osprey Publishing that deal with the history of the German Army with a text written by Chris McNab. As such it is better than many similar publications, and as one would expect from this publisher, the illustrations are excellent.

The book is divided into several chapters:

• Introduction
• Blitzkrieg: Hitler's War Machine Unleashed
• Desert Warfare: Rommel's Afrika Korps
• The Surprise Assault: Operation Barbarossa and the war in the East 1941-43
• The Tide Turns: War on the Western Front 1944
• The Final Defeats: Retreat to the Fatherland 1944-45
• Conclusion

The book is 424 pages long and contains 250 black and white photographs as well as numerous colour drawings.
