It's not everyday we get to announce the release of a new book authored by one of our longtime Canadian customers. Congratulations to Dr. Arthur W. Gullachsen on the release of his new book "The Defeat and Attrition of the 12. SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend: Volume 2" by Casemate Publishing.

This Five Star review provides some insight to the quality of his writing and research.

"Outstanding study. Intensively researched and meticulously analyzed, this is the best English-language study yet published on the early battles of the SS Hitlerjugend Division in Normandy. It examines and demolishes a number of myths concerning the performance of the division in Normandy, perpetuated by Hubert Meyer's divisional history, which has often been the basis of many English-language assessments of the division's performance. Utilizing the division's original surviving war diaries and contemporary Allied battlefield documents, the author presents the most balanced and objective study yet written on the division in English. Should be on the shelf of anyone seriously interested in the Normandy Campaign, the Waffen SS, and the German Army."
