Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Despot Infinitus, 2014. NEW. Pages: 276. Photographs: 351. Binding: softcover -- One of the most important technical features of the Second World War in Southeastern Europe was the use of armored units: although that part of Europe was considered minor in terms of global strategic importance and the way warfare was conducted, its complex political and military situation, especially in the area of former Yugoslavia, led to bitter fighting among the regional belligerents. Each of them used armored units to at least some extent, although they differed in modes of use, typology and other features. This book is an overview of the armored units of the Axis forces in that part of Europe; the German forces, including not only the Wehrmacht but the Waffen SS and the Ordnungspolizei as well, the Italian Army up to 1943 and then the RSI from 1943 onwards, the Croatian Home Guard and the Ustasha Army of the Independent State of Croatia, the Bulgarian and Hungarian forces, as well as the Slovene Home Guard. Authors Dinko Predoević and Bojan Dimitrijević conducted a thorough research of the units involved, different types of vehicles used by the each Axis nation separately, with special focus on the specificities of the warfare in that region such as the hilly terrain and heavy partisan resistance and milestone events such as the entry of the Red Army into Serbia in 1944, or the final operations of the war in 1945. It should be noted that the term armored or Panzer is understood in broader terms, encompassing not only tanks, but armored cars, self-propelled or assault guns, halftracks, improvised vehicles, armored trains and other armored railways vehicles as well. This luxurious book is equipped with more than 350 historical photographs and is one of the most thorough monographs of the Axis forces and their armored units.

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Despot Infinitus, 2016. NEW. Pages: 248. Photographs: 357. Binding: softcover -- After publishing their acclaimed book on the Axis armored units in Southeastern Europe in 2015, Bojan Dimitrijević and Dinko Predoević continued their work on armored units of WW2 belligerents. As was the case with their previous installment covering the Axis, the authors have gathered more than 350 photographs and created a visually appalling and thorough book, writing about each Allied belligerent separately. Their analysis encompasses virtually all types of armored units and vehicles used in the region, the description of all major operations, and often provides the much needed context by going all the way back to the Interwar period. The most interesting episodes such the Partisan capture of the Italian armored units in Montenegro and Herzegovina in 1941, or milestone events such as the Soviet push into central Serbia in 1945 were given special attention. The book covers Yugoslav (both pre-1941 Royal units and the Partisans), Soviet (including Bulgarian units under Soviet command) and even British and New Zealand units which fought in Southeastern Europe. The authors especially focused on the Yugoslav Partisan resistance, which often faced problems typical for guerrilla warfare, especially in the earlier stages of the war: lack of equipment, vehicles, and fuel, leading to interesting improvisation techniques and heavily modified vehicles.
