After the Battle
The magazine deals with the The Second World War in a "then and now format": historical photographs matched with a modern day picture of the same scene to show how much (or how little) things have changed. Most issues feature a major article on a specific subject, with a few smaller articles, and places around the world are covered. Panzers in Normandy - Then and Now
Panzers in Normandy Then and Now
Published to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Normandy campaign, Panzers in Normandy Then and Now is a detailed study of the German panzer regiments in Normandy in 1944 as seen from the German side. The book is basically divided into two parts: the theoretical composition of the 1944 model of the panzer regiment, its equipment and personnel, and secondly, individual chapters on the seventeen panzer units which saw service in Normandy. In addition the book contrasts the scenes of the fighting that raged in the countryside and villages of this part of France with comparison photographs of the battleground as it is today. Research for this book also resulted in the discovery of the location of the grave of the most famous panzer commander, formerly listed as missing in action, when a Normandy roadside revealed its secret in 1983 as the last resting place of the victor of Villiers-Bocage, Michael Wittmann. |
