Sturmartillerie de la Waffen-SS: Tome III [French]

Text in French

Poursuivant sa s?rie sur les Sturmgesch?tze des Waffen-SS, dans ce 3e tome, Pierre Tiquet ?tudie trois grandes unit?s impliqu?es sur des th??tres d'op?rations souvent secondaires: deux divisions de montagne - les 6e et 7e -, puis une de cavalerie - la 8e -. Souvent moins ?voqu?es, elles sont cependant passionnantes et ont ?t? confront?es ? des combats opini?tres.

La « Nord ?tant pour l'essentiel engag?e sur le front de Laponie, tr?s inhospitalier, ses StuG. y ont une existence limit?e, peu appropri?s au terrain du Grand Nord. ?galement Gebirgs-Division, la « Prinz Eugen sert principalement dans les montagnes yougoslaves contre les partisans de Tito, quoiqu'en Serbie, sa batterie de StuG. 40 s'illustrera avec brio contre l'Arm?e rouge, avec ? sa t?te l'Ostuf. Harry Paletta. Enfin, sont ?voqu?s les canons d'assaut de la « Florian Geyer , elle aussi largement engag?e en contre-gu?rilla, avant de l'?tre contre les Sovi?tiques en Ukraine, en Transylvanie et lors de la terrible bataille d'encerclement de Budapest.

C'est ?galement l'occasion pour l'auteur de mettre en relief l'engagement plus g?n?ral de chacune de ces divisions, avec des photographies largement in?dites, voire des reportages uniques, en ?voquant aussi leurs formations de Panzerj?ger et de chars de combat. Agr?able ? lire, l'ouvrage est enrichi de cartes et profils en couleurs, mais aussi de biographies pr?cises et document?es de plusieurs figures embl?matiques de ces trois grandes unit?s - Matthias Kleinheisterkamp, Otto Kumm ou encore Hermann Fegelein.

**********

Continuing his series on the Sturmgesch?tze of the Waffen-SS, in this 3rd volume, Pierre Tiquet studies three large units involved in often secondary theaters of operations: two mountain divisions - the 6th and 7th -, then one of cavalry - the 8th. Often less mentioned, they are nevertheless fascinating and have been confronted with stubborn fights.

The "North" being essentially engaged on the Lapland front, very inhospitable, its StuG. have a limited existence there, not very appropriate to the terrain of the Far North. Also Gebirgs-Division, the "Prinz Eugen" served mainly in the Yugoslav mountains against Tito's partisans, although in Serbia, its StuG battery. 40 will shine brilliantly against the Red Army, led by the Ostuf. Harry Paletta. Finally, the assault guns of the "Florian Geyer" are also mentioned, also largely engaged in counter-guerrilla warfare, before being engaged against the Soviets in Ukraine, in Transylvania and during the terrible encirclement battle of Budapest.

It is also an opportunity for the author to highlight the more general commitment of each of these divisions, with largely unpublished photographs, even unique reports, also evoking their Panzerj?ger and battle tank formations. Pleasant to read, the book is enriched with color maps and profiles, but also precise and documented biographies of several emblematic figures of these three major units - Matthias Kleinheisterkamp, ​​Otto Kumm and Hermann Fegelein.
