  Captives Courageous South African Prisoners of War World War ll by Maxwell Leigh  Published by Ashanti Publishing, 1992, 1st Edition Hardcover, 219 pages, black & white photographs and schetches Dust cover in good condition, slight shelf wear on the edges. Original price sticker on the back. Hardcover in red, white lettering. Corners and bottom of spine show slight shelf wear. Tight binding, clean inside, a beautiful book. Captives Courageous; South African prisoners of war in World War II is the ninth work in the South Africans at War series published by Ashanti Press. "Leigh has divided his book into two parts. In the first part, entitled "Into the bag", he details the capture of South Africans in the Western Desert and their rapid transition from efficient fighting men to often sickly and weak prisoners of war (POW). The Western Desert was an unforgiving environment in which to find oneself a prisoner of war. If passing fighters or bombers (of either side) did not "get" you the dysentry invariably did. The heat, lack of water and lack of compassion shown by Axis non-frontline troops towards South African prisoners of war are all documented by Leigh. He also highlights the differences South Africans experienced in the treatment meted out by Italians on the one hand and Germans on the other. Ironically this relationship was to change later in the war, when many South Africans were moved north into Germany after the collapse of Italy in mid-1943. The conditions in POW camps in Germany were much tougher than those experienced in Italy."      Please judge by these images:         Please note: Payment must be made within three days of auction close.     Please have a look at all my Items here!!  

  HarperCollins Publishers. Hardback. Book Condition: Very good, 2009, 1st edition. 388 pp. Alamein, Iain Gale, The superb novelist of men at war moves into the twentieth century and World War Two, telling the story of the eleven days in the sands of North Africa that would change history forever. There are some battles that change the course of history: Alamein is one of those. In October 1942, Britain and its allies were in real difficulties: Germany and its Axis partners seemed to be triumphant everywhere - in Europe, in Russia, in the Atlantic and were now poised to take the Suez Canal. It was in North Africa that the stand was made, that the tide of World War Two began to turn. It was a battle of strong characters: the famous battle commander Rommel and the relatively untested new British commander, Montgomery, leading men who fought through an extraordinary eleven day battle, in an unforgiving terrain, amid the swirling sandstorms and the desert winds. Iain Gale, author of the outstanding historical novel Four Days in June on the battle of Waterloo, tells the dramatic story through seven characters, almost all based on real people. Drawn from both sides of the conflict, they include a major from a Scottish brigade, the young lieutenant in the thick of the tank battle, the Australian sergeant with the infantry, the tank commander of the Panzer Division and the charismatic Italian commander of a parachute battalion. Through them and others we see the flow of battle, the strategies, the individual actions and skirmishes, the fear, the determination, the extraordinary courage on both sides.

Australia 1 dollar Famous Battles Tobruk 1941 Silver Coloured Proof Coin 2011 Edition Technical Specs Presentation Country:   Australia Metal Purity:    ¿Silver 0.999 Box:   Yes Year of Issue:   2011 Weight:   1 Oz CoA:   Yes Face Value:   1 dollar Dimensions:   40.60     Quality:   Proof     Mintage:   5000   New coin with capsule, CoA and box The Siege of Tobruk was a lengthy confrontation between Axis and Allied forces in North Africa during the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. The Siege started on 11 April 1941, when; Tobruk was attacked by an Italian-German force under Lieutenant General Rommel and continued forj 240 days.The Siege was only a couple of months old when the renegade Lord Haw Haw, broadcasting from Berlin, said the Allies were "caught like rats in a trap". The Allied soldiers accepted the title with alacrity and became the renowned 'Rats of Tobruk'. The blockade continued for eight months, during which time the men endured intense bombing raids, entombed in their desert fortress.However, the Allies held their ground and defied the seemingly unstoppable blitzkrieg war of the Germans.In addition, the Royal Navy and Allied artillery played a crucial role in Tobruk's defence in providing gunfire support, military supplies, fresh troops, and aid in the evacuation of the wounded.Maintaining control of Tobruk was crucial to the Allied war effort and marked a turning point in the Second World War. The Siege of Tobruk was finally lifted in December 1941.There were those that could not answer those longed-for evacuation orders. Casualties from all sides of the conflict lie in windswept cemeteries around Tobruk. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
