Oh Man, I was looking for those Ziemke books, thanks really appreciate it

The first book written in the three volume set according to the introduction is Moscow to Stalingrad and the second volume is Stalingrad to Berlin.

I was wondering if a third volume was ever written?


I have them all now, by the way, are these the studies the German generals were involved with after the war?

Fantastic books !
I think there are only two volumes, over 10 years ago i find a wonderful used hardcover copy of Stalingrad to Berlin at Alibris.com and i remember till now when the postman after 45 days (i live in Italy) delivered me the book!

Very interesting, nikdav. Thanks!

An interesting interview(1979) with General Hermann Balck, famous commander 11th Panzer Division.

Thanks for all the links. Very interesting and much appreciated.

another interesting interview: Balck and von Mallenthin on tactics!

http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/csi/docs/Go ... cs_May.pdf

Glantz is a must read. Balck and Mellenthin are incredible!

Highly recommended and I suppose not free?: Panzer Battles by Mellenthin. I keep reading this book over and over...almost as a reference book to me.
