WW2 Today

A fine study, well written, thoroughly researched and highly readable.

The Journal of Military History

"...an engaging, detailed read that can educate, inspire, and provide source material to modelers of the formation in particular, and the Wehrmacht in general. The gallery of photographs is particularly useful for researching HG uniforms and insignia. Firsthand accounts provide exciting stories in much of the book."

Armorama, September 2022

"...includes a considerable number of first-person accounts from soldiers of the division as well as Allied opponents..."

I even enjoyed the notes at the back which also comes with a list of Knights Cross recipients and finally, I really liked the picture on the back of the book.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes world war 2 history, I liked the attention to detail of the wars engaged in by the German tank, panzer division. They were a formidable force to be reckoned with during world war 2.

Overall, I am confident that this book will become the standard reference book in the English language on the HG Division’s history. The standard of the author’s work is exceptionally high and this new release honours the brave men of this Division – so many of which paid the ultimate price.

This is an interesting book and for anybody with an interest in particular of the war in Italy and Sicily, I would recommend this book as another view of the campaign.

The Bookseller

A great look at one of the German panzer groups in WW2. The author does an outstanding job of covering the unit from its creation to the end of the war. The story is well told and full of first hand accounts to keep you in the story. A great read for the war history fans.

NetGalley, Ron Baumer

This history of the Herman Goring Division and its predecessor units is packed with detail concerning operational structures and personnel but if that sounds dull do not be put off. It is very much part of a comprehensive and well delivered history that makes for fascinating reading. For anybody interested in the role of this elite unit, it is a ‘must read’ and as part of an understanding of the campaigns it fought, it offers a wider perspective of its interaction with adjoining units. My one gripe is the lack of sketch maps to illustrate the history, but there is always google! Also, it is not often that a serious and well-presented work of history is dedicated to Eddie van Halen. I’m sure Eddie would have approved.
