A celebratory offer from Peter Mooney / Loyalty and Honour Publishing.

As some of you will be aware, this is the 20th anniversary year since my first book was published. To help celebrate that, I have applied discounts to the following book titles:

My Brother in Arms - Kurt Sametreiter
Das Reich Tiger Commander - Philipp Theiss
Sommer 1943: The Totenkopf Division
VII. Battalion LSSAH: 1942
The Men of SS-Schule Tölz

They can all be viewed at the link below:

https://lahpublishing.com/collections/our-books?page=1

So, with Christmas on the horizon, maybe time to add some of the missing titles from the LAH Publishing inventory, whilst treating yourself.

You may also be aware of my health situation? As a result of that, none of the above listed titles will be reprinted. If you have not already acquired one, or more, of them, then maybe this is the time to.

Thanks for the ongoing support and interest and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards
Peter

This weekend, many people are situated in Holland, marking and celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Allied advance into that country. The bravery of the Allied soldiers, and Dutch resistance who helped ensure that many Dutch civilians enjoyed their first freedom in four years. That advance almost succeeded in crossing the German border in mid-September, but was held by a mixed force, mostly comprised of W$$ troops.

That was on the back of the successful Normandy battles for the Allies, begun in June, culminated in the opening days of September and something that also seen it's recent 80th celebrations.

To help you understand the extent of those two major battles, read about some of the experienced soldiers the Allies faced and the stories of the Knight's Cross awardees who were recognised for their defensive action during Normandy and Market Garden, we can recommend the latest release from LAH Publishing.

Waffen-$$ Knight's and their Battles - Volume 6, summarises the W$$ perspective of the Market Garden operation (amongst others) and details the W$$ men who led key defensive actions which helped to stop the Allied advance in northeast Holland.

It also details more W$$ soldiers who were recognised with the Knight's Cross for their recent Normandy-related actions.

Waffen-$$ Knight's and their Battles - Volume 5, summarises the Normandy fighting, from the perspective of the W$$ and details the soldiers who received their Knight's Cross between June and August 1944.

Both volumes combined, provide over 900 pages of detail, cover 180+ W$$ awardees (many of them recognised for their actions during the above two pivotal battles), with nearly 60 maps to provide a visual overview of the movements.

To secure your copies, go to the link below, or PM me, if you prefer a personally signed copy.

Peter.

Back now from the Military Odyssey show and great to catch up with a lot friends, existing customers and new ones.

The book was well received and a few surprised faces, when seeing the thickness of this new volume, alongside V5 (which was already thicker than any of the preceding 4 volumes).

For those of you waiting on your orders, they will be actioned today (being picked up tomorrow) and I am in varying conversations, sorting new orders for others.

If you have been holding off, waiting until I am back, go ahead and your order(s) will be fulfilled quickly now.

Thanks for your patience on this one - great to have the book just ahead of the show, but not great for those of you waiting, whilst I was at the show.

I will also take this opportunity to thank you for your support and interest in my various publications over the past 20 years. In that time, I have written, translated or published 20 titles; I hope to produce a few more, before my time is up.

Many of you have every one of those on your shelves and I thank you for that.

Once these orders are sorted, work will continue on competing Fritz Witt, with a self imposed deadline of the end of this year.

Regards and you have my appreciation and thanks.
Peter.

Regards, Peter.

This volume will cover the timeframe from the start of June to the end of August 1944.

Loyalty and Honour Publishing are pleased to announce the launch of W$$ Knights and their Battles: Volume 6.

This is the sixth volume of the on-going project that is detailing the chronological bestowal of all Knight’s Cross related awards to the soldiers of the Waffen-SS during the Second World War.

This volume will cover the timeframe from the start of September 1944 to the end of January 1945. It will focus on the stabilisation of the western front in the autumn of 1944, Operation Market Garden, the battle for Metz and the Ardennes Offensive, as well as Operation Nordwind. It will also detail the loss of Estonia and the forming of the Courland Pocket, as well as the collapse of the south-eastern front in Greece, then Romania and onto Hungary. The pressure on the German Armed Forces and the Waffen-SS formations within them, was immense and no last ditch offensive actions changed that; they only caused further costly losses, which facilitated the final defeat a few months later.

This volume will detail a further 103 Knight’s Cross related awards (the most confirmed awards in any single volume), and features 84 Knight's Cross, 16 Oakleaves and 3 Swords-level awardees. 27 Maps and 103 photographs will help you visualise the battles that tested these soldiers and provided them the chance to receive the awards detailed within. An intense volume that covers some of the most well-known battles of the entire war and one that will add to your overall understanding of that conflict.

The book format and contents are:
6x9 inch portrait format
Hard back
512 gloss pages (1.6kg)
102 photos, 27 maps

The price is £40.00 (postage additional).

For those of you on the wait list, I will be in touch.

Please bear in mind that I am only around for the first few days of this week, then I will be off to The Military Odyssey show for the second half of the week, into the start of next week, which may delay the dispatch of your book(s)

Thanks for your ongoing interest and support of my various historical book projects.

Regards
Peter.

Alongside the discussions with the printers, regarding Volume 6 of the W-$$ Knights series, we are also assessing a reprint of Volume 5 - image attached.

If you missed out on this for the first print, and are interested in adding it to the collection, please get in touch.

I know some of you are waiting until Volume 7 is done / the series is complete, but bear in mind my health situation and the possibility that V7 may not get done?

My advice, acquire V6 (and V5) when they become available. The first 4 volumes are readily available.

Watch this space and please get in touch to add yourself to the wait list for Volume 5 reprint (and Volume 6 - if you have not done so already).

Thanks for the ongoing support

Very pleased to have received the Fritz Witt letter and envelope today, the one that I posted a request about recently.

Some things are meant to be!

This December 1943 letter and accompanying envelope will be included in the book project (about 75% at the moment). Very nice, 12. $$ letter head and also signed off with his Oberfhr. rank - very, very nice and also have the context of the story behind it.

Watch this space.

Peter.

Hi Folks,

Besides putting the finishing touches to V6 of the W$$ Knights series of books, I am also deep into a new project that will cover Fritz Witt and his history, in words, documents and photos.

To help with that Witt project, I am reaching out to fellow collectors to ask if any of you have award (or other) documents signed personally by Fritz Witt.

We have a number of these already and they range from his earliest service, through to later in the war. The objective is to ideally have a clear, colour copy of documents that cover the entire scope of his rank and commands held.

If you are able to help flesh this out, please get in touch via PM.

Regards and thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Peter.

Volume 6 of the ongoing WSS Knights series has reached two key milestones this week:

Maps all done, drafted and just getting a final check over (28 in this volume and they have taken months to compile and create! - impacted by the health situation)

Cover designed and ready to go.

Outstanding final two stages is proof read corrections which will be started next week, then the final welding together of all aspects, before this goes to the printer.

I am hoping for a late-April release, but will see how long the next steps take.

At the moment, the book stands at 406 pages, so the thickest volume and will cover 103 separate awards between September 1944 and the end of January 1945.

Watch this space for more updates.

Thanks for the ongoing interest and support.
