| Rolfe, Mel: To Hell and Back. True life experiences of bomber comand at war
Book Number: 47571
Grub Street 1998 8vo hardcover 192pp index, b/w illus. very good / very good d/w. Following the success of Looking into Hell, published in 1995, Mel Rolfe has researched another twenty dramatic but true stories of gallantry in World War Two. Some of them defy belief - like the RAF bomb aimer who was blown out of his Liberator over Warsaw at 400ft without a parachute and made a poignant return in 1989 to witness the unveiling of a memorial on the crash site. Others defy logic - like two men of the same crew who survived a terrible crash, neither aware of the other's existence but both saved by a tolling of the same church bell.

| Carrington, Charles: Soldier at Bomber Command
Book Number: 47572
Leo Cooper 1987 8vo hardcover 240pp index, b/w illus. very good / very good d/w. Hitler's Ardennes offensive of December 1944 was spearheaded by a panzer regiment of the 1st SS Division. Attacking at dawn in their King Tiger tanks, the 1st SS made a gallant attempt to break through the Allied lines. As on other occasions, the SS combat achievement was marred by atrocities. The regiment's commander, Jochen Peiper, had ordered them to drive on recklessly and to give no quarter. When an inconvenient number of American prisoners had been acquired, SS men opened fire on them, killing 86 captive Americans. Peiper and some of his men were brought to trial after the war. Over-zealous American prosecutors committed many irregularities and members of the unit only suffered minor penalties, despite the horrendous nature of their murderous atrocities. Veteran military historian Charles Whiting offers a vivid account of the largest single atrocity committed against American P. O. W. s on the western front in World War II, as well as a detailed narrative of the forward units of the SS Leibstandarte "Adolf Hitler" during the Battle of the Bulge. Massacre At Malmedy is a fitting and descriptive memorial that is a permanent part of the military history of the European theatre. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. nnProduct DescriptionnIn December of 1944, during the final flush of the German breakout in the Bulge, several SS divisions led by Colonel Johann Peiper swarmed the American encampment at Malmedy, in the Ardennes. American prisoners, wounded and unwounded, were summarily executed, as were many Belgian civilians, under the charge that the village had harbored American troops. nnColonel Peiper and a number of his lieutenants were subsequently charged for their roles in the massacre, and sentenced to hang. But incredibly, as with the majority of convicted war criminals, they were spared.
