These were great. I had quite a few in the day. I hope I still have some of them. Won't know for sure till after the movers come next Thursday. Actually it will be a while after the delivery before I can check as this won't even be on the priority list.
Hi Tom - welcome to the drome from over here in the south west of England
lol, welcome, Tom! Great intro
Welcome to the Aerodrome, Tom, from here 'across The Pond' in the United Kingdom.
I remember those books but I do not think that I ever owned one.
Thought I bought a bunch of them, but it looks like just these two -
Both by Kenneth Macksey:
Afrika Korps
Panzer Division: The Mailed Fist

Got them back in 1968 - my first real 'war books'.
Ah nostalgia ...... alas poor Yorrick I think I tossed my two out some time ago. They did not age well. One was on the Zero and the other Guadalcanal. I also had a tattered volume of "How England saved Europe" that I read many times too. It is about the Great War (1793 - 1815), Wellington and all that stuff if anyone is interested. Probably available as an E book these days.
Welcome to the 'Drome, Tom!
I've got a few of these - the ones I remember off the top of my head all referred to the Pacific war, since I was writing a carrier campaign located around the Solomon Islands and these were the only books I could find which listed ships' names for each historical battle/operation; thoroughly useful info!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
ive got a couple of those. i think one of thems for the ss. have to dig them out and look lol. always tried to pick them up whenever i came across them as they had excellent pics and were quite informative.
I still have a couple of dozen collecting dust on my bookshelf. They were good reads for their time.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
