Description

Up for bid is an original vintage pre-owned
Department of the Army Pamphlet No.20-271: German Northern Theater Of Operations 1940-1945 by Earl F. Ziemke.
Found at an estate sale of a deceased veteran.
This is the original Army Pamphlet released in 1959.
This book, written by German Officers in American captivity and produced by the US military intelligence services, looks at two Second World War campaigns which are often forgotten amidst the great battles of Russia and Normandy: operations against Norway in 1940 and the German operations launched from Finland against the Soviet Union from June 1941 to the winter of 1944-45.’
'Part One gives significant details of the planning and execution of the invasion of Norway, and discusses naval participation in the operation. The campaign itself is detailed chronologically, and problems are discussed as well as solutions. The whole campaign is subject to a detailed analysis, and for this reason alone the book needs to be available to any student of the Second World War.'
What makes the book even more valuable however, is its evaluation in Part Two of German-Finnish co-operation from 1941-44.
Planning and preparation are shown in detail, as well as Operations Silberfuchs, Platinfuchs and Polarfuchs.
The German mountain troops operating in the area were constantly in danger from the weather and the Russians, and conditions are commented upon in detail.
There are also notes on rank distinctions (German and Finnish), a chronology and a list of major participants, together with a glossary. Accompanied by 23 maps (some fold out), nine of which relate to the campaign in Norway and photographs.'
The book is a paperback and is in very good condition.
It has some shelf wear along the edges.
It consists of 342 pages.
The pages are clean with no writing in the book.

I try to describe the best I can but the photos capture what may have been missed in the written description.
I try to describe everything to the best of my knowledge but very few things I sell are Brand New and it will be stated in the listing if they are new. If it looks like a stain, nick, or fading in the photographs then it probably is, but I believe the condition of these items is part of their charm.
