One of the strongest national legions of such a kind was raised in the Netherlands, where it was supported by a large pro-Nazi movement led by Anton Mussert. The 3,000-man Netherlands Volunteer Legion fought on the Leningrad front in regimental strength, from the Red Army's winter 1941\/42 counter-offensive until April 1943. The survivors were then reinforced to form a 5,500-strong Panzergrenadier Brigade, and after anti-partisan service in Croatia, they returned to Army Group North as part of Steiner's III SS Panzer Korps, fighting in the most arduous battles of 1943-44 until driven back into Pomerania.

Peace returned to Japan with the end of the Osaka War in 1615.

It was in response to this requirement that the armored halftrack was developed during the mid-1930s. The SdKfz 251 halftrack soon became one of the most numerous vehicles in German service during World War II, with over 15,000 produced.

These began to see extensive combat in the Mediterranean in 1943. In their most famous use, the Italian battleship \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoma\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was sunk by a Fritz-X attack in September 1943 when Italy attempted to switch sides. The serious threat posed by these missiles led to a vigorous but little known ‘Wizard War' by the Allies to develop electronic counter-measures, the first effort of its kind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBesides the anti-ship missiles, the other major category of German missiles were the air-defence missiles. Germany suffered extremely heavy losses from Allied strategic bombing attacks, and German fighter and flak defences proved increasingly unsuccessful. As a result, the Luftwaffe began an extensive programme to deploy several families of new air defence missiles to counter the bomber threat, including the Wasserfall, Schmetterling, and others. This book traces the origins of these missile programmes and examines their development and use in combat. With full-colour illustrations and detailed explorations of the stories behind the missiles, this study offers a comprehensive overview of German guided missiles in the World War II era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN : \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9781472831798\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42485600878841,"sku":"9781472831798","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/4703\/2569\/products\/9781472831798.jpg?v=1646457732"},{"product_id":"allied-warships-vs-the-atlantic-wall","title":"ALLIED WARSHIPS VS THE ATLANTIC WALL","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003eAllied Warships vs the Atlantic Wall\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNormandy 1944\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDUEL : 128\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAuthor : Steven J.

Stunning artworks reveal details of the design, construction and ammunition of the weapons involved, and the locations of important sites are shown on maps.

Both Legions were then redesignated as SS Assault Brigades, and thereafter saw extremely hard fighting in the Ukraine and on the Baltic front.

This series will build into a library of practical information for the modeller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45813829730553,"sku":"9781902579078","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/4703\/2569\/files\/9781902579078.jpg?v=1734301455"},{"product_id":"advanced-military-vehicle-modelling","title":"ADVANCED MILITARY VEHICLE MODELLING","description":"\u003ch1\u003eADVANCED MILITARY VEHICLE MODELLING\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompendium Modelling Manual - 4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthor : Jerry Scutts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor the more experienced vehicle modeller this book takes the reader to a level of proficiency that some people only dream of.

Of these, 104,000 served in the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force, whose major component became 2nd NZ Infantry Division; by 1944 this was the largest division in the British and Commonwealth armies, with a strength of about 40,000 men in infantry and supporting artillery, armoured, engineer and service units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially thrown into the doomed campaign to halt the German blitzkrieg on Greece and Crete (1941), the division was rebuilt under the leadership of a World War I VC-winner, MajGen Sir Bernard Freyberg, and became the elite corps within Montgomery's Eighth Army in the desert. After playing a vital role in the victory at El Alamein (1942) the 'Kiwis' were the vanguard of the pursuit to Tunisia. In 1943-45 the division was heavily engaged in the Italian mountains, especially at Cassino (1944); it ended the war in Trieste, facing down Tito's advancing communist partisans.

Worried about the growing power of Japan and the German Far Eastern colonies, Australia and New Zealand had both introduced conscription in 1912. When war broke out in 1914, the men already in the system provided a small nucleus of trained soldiers, but at least half of those who went on to serve abroad had no previous military experience. Australians rushed to the colors even before their government had formally offered troops to Britain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSome initial training was undertaken in Australia, but most of the work had to be done when the AIF reached Egypt. Although the Anzacs were expecting to go on to France, little use was made of the experience of men who had already served on the Western Front. The decision to employ the Anzacs in the very different theatre of Gallipoli came as a complete surprise. The events at the Anzac and Suvla beach-heads have acquired an almost legendary status. In combat, the ANZACs responded with great discipline and a bravery that sometimes bordered on recklessness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book takes a close look at day-to-day life in the trenches of Gallipoli. The terrain was hard and stony, making the construction of trenches difficult. Water was constantly in short supply, and the rear areas remained well within the range of Turkish artillery. It also explores how the wounded were treated, the effects of disease in the crowded beach-head, and of weather-related complaints such as frostbite, which hospitalized many men. The experience of Gallipoli had a profound effect on those who survived, imbuing the ANZACs with an esprit de corps that characterized their superlative performance in France.

Although the Hotchkiss would be overshadowed by the water-cooled Maxim and Vickers Guns, it proved its effectiveness during the Russo-Japanese War. The gun, quirky though it was, was successful enough to persuade Laurence Benét and Henri Mercié to develop the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eModèle Portative\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: a man-portable version which, it was hoped, could move with infantrymen as they advanced. Later mounted on tanks and aircraft, it became the first automatic weapon to obtain a 'kill' in aerial combat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough it served the French and US armies during World War I (and also the British in areas where French and British units fought alongside each other), the Odkolek-Hotchkiss system was to have its longest-term effect in Japan. Here, a succession of derivatives found favour in theatres of operations in which water-cooling could be more of a liability than an asset. When US forces landed on Saipan, Guam and Iwo Jima, battling their way from island to island across the Pacific, it was the 'Woodpecker' – the Type 92 Hotchkiss, with its characteristically slow rate of fire – which cut swathes through their ranks. Supported by contemporary photographs and full-colour illustrations, this title explores the exciting and eventful history of the first successful gas-operated machine gun.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN : 9781472836168\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45903296463097,"sku":"9781472836168","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/4703\/2569\/files\/9781472836168.jpg?v=1735768808"},{"product_id":"p-39-p-400-airacobra-vs-a6m2-3-zero-sen-new-guinea-1942","title":"P-39\/P-400 Airacobra vs A6M2\/3 Zero-sen    New Guinea 1942","description":"\u003ch1\u003eP-39\/P-400 Airacobra vs A6M2\/3 Zero-sen\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Guinea 1942\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDUEL : 87\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthor : Michael John Claringbould\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIllustrator : Jim Laurier , Gareth Hector\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter the huge advances made in the early months of the Pacific war, it was in remote New Guinea where the advance of Imperial Japanese Naval Air Force (IJNAF) A6M Zero-sen fighters was first halted due to a series of offensive and defensive aerial battles ranging from treetop height up to 30,000 ft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially, the IJNAF fought Australian Kittyhawks, but by May 1942 they had fought themselves into oblivion, and were relieved by USAAF P-39 and P-400 Airacobras. The battles unfolded over mountainous terrain with treacherous tropical weather. Neither IJNAF or USAAF pilots had been trained for such extreme conditions, incurring many additional losses aside from those that fell in combat. Using specially commissioned artwork and contemporary photographs and testimony, this fascinating study explains how, despite their initial deficit in experience and equipment, the Airacobras managed to square the ledger and defend New Guinea.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN : 9781472823663\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45903305277689,"sku":"9781472823663","price":28.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/4703\/2569\/files\/9781472823663.jpg?v=1735770170"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/4703\/2569\/collections\/Osprey_Logo.jpg?v=1755559609","url":"https:\/\/khaki-green.com.au\/collections\/osprey-publishing.oembed?page=6","provider":"Khaki and Green Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
