About this product
Product Information
The second part of a new history of IV. SS-Panzerkorps, which fought on the Eastern Front in the last months of World War II. On Christmas Eve 1944, the men of the IV SS-Panzerkorps were preparing to celebrate the occasion as best they could. Taking advantage of the pause in the fighting around Warsaw, they looked forward to partaking in that most German of holidays, including the finest Christmas dinner their field kitchens could still prepare in this fifth year of the war. They had earned it too; after five months of unrelenting combat and the loss of many of their friends, troops from the corps headquarters, headquarters troops, and its two divisions--the 3rd SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" and the 5th SS Panzer Division "Wiking"--were eagerly anticipating what the holiday would bring, including presents from home and perhaps sharing a bottle of schnapps or wine with their comrades.This was not to be, for that very evening, the corps commander, SS-Obergruppenführer Herbert Otto Gille, received a telephone call notifying him that the 35,000 men of his corps would begin boarding express trains the following day that would take them from the relative quiet of the Vistula Front to the front lines in Hungary, hundreds of kilometers away. Their mission: Relieve Budapest! Thus would begin the final round in the saga of the IV SS-Panzerkorps. In Hungary, it would play a key role in the three attempts to raise the siege of that fateful city. Threatened as much by their high command as by the forces of the Soviet Union, Gille and his troops overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their attempts to rescue the city's garrison, only to have their final attack called off at the last minute. At that moment, they were only a few kilometers away from the objective towards which they had striven for nearly a month. After the relief attempt's failure sealed the fate of hundreds of thousands of Hungarians and Germans, the only course of action remaining was to dig in and protect the Hungarian oilfields as long as possible.

The author's exhaustive research delivers a veritable tour de force of Eastern Front armored combat replete with slashing counterattacks, defending to the last man, and overcoming odds that defy traditional military calculus. This work not only brings those events to life, but it also provides broader and equally valuable insight into the formidable capabilities of late war panzer formations when they were unopposed by Anglo-American airpower., The primary sources are immaculate, ranging from unit war diaries down to private accounts of participating soldiers. The details leave no stone unturned. The maps are succinct and in the right places to bolster the text. And the sheer numbers of photographs storm off the page with incredible detail - so authentic that one is tempted to turn up the room temperature just looking at the winter shots around Budapest., Nash has without question produced another winner. It further amplifies in greater tactical detail the efforts of the Wehrmacht and IV SS Panzerkorps to produce strategic miracles., As with the author's prior works, this work is meticulously researched and footnoted, backing every major detail with its factual source. There are good photographs and excellent maps, well placed to accompany the relevant text., The first volume was by far one of the best military history books I have ever read. This volume continues in that vein without even the slightest hiccup., The scholarship that went into these books is impeccable, with the author deftly weaving primary and secondary sources to form an excellent and thought provoking picture of this period in the Second World War., ...this strikingly excellent series of three combat dramas on the tactical and operational levels of the German Waffen SS is the most comprehensive combined study ever written., Through its focus upon providing a detailed study of an often overlooked chapter of the war on the Russian Front, volume two of From the Realm of a Dying Sun will likely stand as one of the foremost accounts of the Budapest relief operation for years to come. Concurrently, the series will also likely prove to be the definitive history of the IV. SS-Panzer Corps. It is recommended for both the dedicated military historian and general readers alike.

I was pleasantly surprised by how soon I received this textbook given that it shipped from outside the U.S. It was packaged well with no damage. The price was right. And I greatly appreciated the communication informing me where the book was shipping from and including a tracking number. Overall, a positive experience, - online shopping the way it should be. I've bought books from this seller several times now without any complaints and will surely buy from them again. Thanks a lot!

Quality and hard to find book that won't be released 'til January 2025 in the U.S.A.
Fantastic price.
Book was in a secure and protective package. Arrived a few days after I placed order and that was faster than I expected.
Seller is a fantastic communicator and proactive in regards to tracking status. I'd definitely buy from them in the future.
