Вышла новая книга Марка о Немецком Кресте в Золоте (СС и Полиция).
Короткий анонс на английском и обложка:
Below is the cover for volume 7 of “German Cross in Gold Holders of the SS and Police.” The first of two volumes covering “Wiking,” it includes development of the divisional components. The prior unit studied in the series had the most detailed text, captions, and footnotes data for that particular chapter so far in the series when it was released. The similar chapter for “Wiking” has twice the number of words (I’ve never wasted space with empty fluff) and four times the photos.
All the Ia (1.Generalstabsoffizier) and divisional commanders are covered, including the most correct and detailed biography of Herbert Gille written to date. It both elaborates prior studies of him while correcting what others have written (including myself). Then the first 78 German Cross in Gold holders of the formation include the two longest biographies among the recipients in that area between the two volumes. The 13 Roll of Honor Clasp recipients and 20 Close Combat Clasp in Gold holders of “Wiking,” including some great images for the latter that are always hard to find.
The significant addendum area has a large number of previously unseen images of German Cross holders while receiving their awards and new details on a number of recipients of both the German Cross in Gold and Roll of Honor Clasp previously examined in the series. Also included are all the personal award documents for two Knight’s Cross and German Cross in Gold holders, aside from a third one in the main text. 432 pages, 242 illustrations.
After 13+ years the publisher had to increase price for this volume, I don’t know anyone who has held prices of anything that long. I’m surprised it logically didn’t happen years ago with the changing reality of printing costs in more than a decade since the initial Gold volume was released. Will post that when told, expect to hear in the coming week. Bender sent to printer, they create print template before sending him cost and being in Asia the back/forth e-mail takes a few days.
The link to publisher webpage includes a contact tab, send him your postal address and you’ll get a color brochure for all new releases:
