Perhaps everybody knows about this series of books but just in case.....

"Realm of the Dying Sun " Douglas Nash snr. Three volumes.

They chronicle in detail the activities of the waffen SS IV Panzer Korps.

From the huge Tank battle of Praga July-august 1944, thro the Defense of Warsaw to the Battles around Budapest in 1945 until the surrender.

Highly recommended to all.

The series is from the USA, but available in Europe/UK as well via Amazon.

ORIGINAL: tiger111

Perhaps everybody knows about this series of books but just in case.....

"Realm of the Dying Sun " Douglas Nash snr. Three volumes.

They chronicle in detail the activities of the waffen SS IV Panzer Korps.

From the huge Tank battle of Praga July-august 1944, thro the Defense of Warsaw to the Battles around Budapest in 1945 until the surrender.

Highly recommended to all.

The series is from the USA, but available in Europe/UK as well via Amazon.


All three volumes are reviewed at AWNT
