Waffen-SS Armour in Normandy presents the combat history of
SS-Panzer Regiment 12 and SS-Panzerjager Abteilung 12 in the Battle
for France from June to the end of August 1944 based on
transcriptions of their original unit war diaries from the Military
History Archives in Prague. Both armoured units belonged to the
12.SS-Panzer Division Hitlerjugend. SS-Panzer Regiment 12 was
fully-equipped with Panzer IV and Panther tanks. The main AFV of
SS-Panzerjager Abteilung 12 was the Jagdpanzer IV L/48 tank
destroyer. The structure of the volume is partly source publication
(documents of SS-Panzer Regiment 12) and partly study (the
deployment of SS-Panzerjager Abteilung 12). The text was written
and footnoted by the author based upon original wartime files in
Prague that have remained almost unknown. The book starts with the
story of the units' establishment and training in 1943/1944,
including, for example, the shipments of equipment, orders of
battle and tactical numbers of the tanks. After this introduction,
a highly detailed daily chronology of the combat actions is
provided, from 12.SS-Panzer Division travelling to the Caen sector
to Operation Totalize and the withdrawal to the Seine River.
Documents from SS-Panzer Regiment 12 presented in the book include
the following: combat reports, list of knocked-out enemy tanks,
German personnel and tank losses, combat orders, summary of
acquired combat experiences and others. This is an impressive look
at tactical-level events and command decisions, highlighting the
armoured combat tactics that were able to stop Montgomery's Army
Group from breaking through the German lines near Caen for two
months. The study includes a number of detailed maps and excellent
photos. In addition, the book has benefited from the contribution
of rare information, photographs and documents from the archive of
noted Waffen-SS historian Mark C. Yerger.
