Tidal Wave: From Leyte Gulf to Tokyo Bay Based on first-person accounts, this is the story of the naval campaigns in the Pacific from the victory at Leyte Gulf to the end of the war, in which the U.S. Navy would fight harder for survival than ever before. The U.S. Navy found itself confronting an enemy that had been inconceivable until it appeared. The kamikaze, divine wind in Japanese, was something Americans were totally unprepared for; a violation of every belief held in the West. The attacks were terrifying – regardless of the damage inflicted on an attacking airplane, there was no certainty of safety aboard the ship until that airplane was completely destroyed. $21.00 USD

TMP Special Offer: Save 15% New Price: $17.85 USD

Unternehmen ILSE: 5. SS-Panzer Division Wiking – Eastern Front 27 April 1944

Unternehmen Ilse: 5. SS-Panzer Division Wiking – Eastern Front 27 April 1944 Oversized 12" x 12" book contains 256 wartime photos taken by Ernst Baumann, Alois Jarolim, and Ernst Kurbjuhn. Operation Ilse is a visual account of one of the most photographed but least known battles on the Eastern Front. Conducted by the 56th Panzer Corps on 27 April 1944 in the area west and southwest of the Polish city of Kovel, which had been encircled by two Soviet armies for nearly a month before a combined Army and Waffen-SS relief force fought its way through and liberated the garrison. However, after its relief, Kovel was connected to the outside world by only a narrow strip of land continually threatened by the surrounding forces of the Red Army.

The purpose of Operation Ilse was to complete the relief of Kovel, destroy all Red Army forces west of the Turiya River, and free up the north-south rail line connecting Army Group Center with Army Group North Ukraine. In addition to SS-Gruppenfuhrer Gille's battered Wiking Division, a number of other German Army units took part as well, including three infantry divisions (the 131st, 342nd, and 253rd), the 1st Ski-Jager Brigade, Battle Group Lippert, and an elite assault battalion, Sturm-Bataillon AOK 2. $150.00 USD

F-111 Aardwark in Action The F-111, which despite a rocky start, ultimately proved to be a very capable fighter-bomber for the U.S. and Australian Air Forces, was born out of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's desire to compel the the U.S. Navy and Air Force to use a single aircraft for all tactical missions. $20.00 USD
