Operation Mercury, the German airborne assault on the island of Crete in May 1941, was the first strategic use of airborne forces in history.The assault began on 20 May, with landings near the island''s key airports, and reinforcements the next day allowed the German forces to capture one end of the runway at Maleme. By 24 May, the Germans were being reinforced by air on a huge scale and on 1 June Crete surrendered.This book describes how desperately close the battle had been and explains how German losses so shocked the Führer that he never again authorised a major airborne operation.

A compact, illustrated account of one of the final battles of the war in Europe.Hitler's Third Reich was on the brink of total ruin in mid-April 1945, and the Red Army was poised less than 60 miles to the east and ready to seize the German capital. Peter Antill describes the events in this engaging history, examining the Soviets' march towards Berlin and the Germans' final resistance.This book, supplemented with a host of maps and illustrations, provides a vivid portrayal of the death throes of the Third Reich and the end of the war in Europe, exploring the strategy of both sides and the tactics of impromptu urban warfare.

One of the most monumental and widely discussed battles in the history of World War II, Stalingrad was Hitler's first major defeat on the Eastern Front, and acted as a catalyst for his eventual downfall.Providing a detailed breakdown of the armies on both sides and discussing the merits of the commanders and the ways in which these influenced the battle, Peter Antill questions why the Germans allowed themselves to be diverted from their main objective and concentrate such large resources on a secondary target.The bird's-eye view illustrations and maps that feature in this book help to unravel the detail of unit directions, priorities and deployments, and the tactical failures that led to the day-by-day war of attrition that lasted for nearly five months.

Monumentala bătălie de la Stalingrad a fost unul dintre punctele de cotitură din istoria militară a secolului XX. Aici, pe malurile fluviului Volga, Hitler a fost înfrânt hotărâtor de Armata Roșie, cea care, cu doar câteva luni înainte, părea să intre în colaps. Armata Roșie a învins (cu costuri enorme) nu formațiunile destrămate și disperate care aveau să apere Berlinul trei ani mai târziu, ci una dintre cele mai mari și mai bine echipate formațiuni de pe Frontul de Est – Armata VI comandată de Friedrich Paulus. Bătălia a jucat rolul unui catalizator pentru prăbușirea ulterioară a Wehrmachtului. Peter Antill prezintă în detaliu situația celor două armate implicate în luptă, analizează meritele comandanților și felul în care au influențat cursul luptei, întrebându-se de ce germanii au deviat de la obiectivul lor principal și au concentrat resurse atât de importante pentru o țintă secundară. Hărțile dezvăluie direcția, amplasarea și prioritățile unităților militare implicate, precum și greșelile de strategie care au dus la un război de uzură de aproape cinci luni.

Al Treilea Reich al lui Hitler era în pragul colapsului total la mijlocul lui aprilie 1945, când Armata Roșie se afla la mai puțin de 100 de kilometri est de Berlin, fiind gata să captureze capitala Germaniei. Istoricul Peter Antill descrie desfășurarea evenimentelor din această incitantă filă de istorie, examinând marșul sovieticilor către Berlin și rezistența finală a germanilor. Această carte, beneficiind de o mulțime de hărți și de ilustrații, oferă o descriere plină de dramatism a ultimelor clipe ale celui de-al Treilea Reich, la sfârșitul conflagrației mondiale în Europa, și explorează strategia ambelor tabere și tacticile improvizate ale războiului urban.
