Hans Stöber Die Eiserne Faust Chronik der 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision „Götz von Berlichingen“

The 17th SS Panzer Grenadier Division "Götz von Berlichingen", which was set up by order of 3 October 1943, still enjoyed a thorough training period before it went into defensive combat against the Allied invasion in June 1944. In the 17 months of its existence, it fought primarily against US forces until their soldiers in May 1945 had to take the bitter road to captivity. This chronicle lists the operational history of the division day by day. Numerous photos testify to the unprecedented severity of the fights, map sketches complete the description. Selected commands, division of divisions, lists of their commanders, as well as the strength of engagement and a panel of honor complete the presentation. 176 p., Many b / w.
