Blue Division Soldier 1941–45

Spanish Volunteer on the Eastern Front

By: Carlos Caballero Jurado

The all-volunteer 'Blue Division' was a formation that allowed Franco's technically neutral Spain to support Nazi Germany's invasion of Russia. Following initial training in Germany, the Blue Division's units were sent to the Eastern Front in August 1941, where, after a 40-day march to the front, the Division fought in several major actions including Leningrad. In 1943, with the tide turning against the Axis forces in Russia, the Division was ordered to be withdrawn, yet many men chose to stay on and serve with the Volunteer Legion. Even after the collapse in the East, some volunteered to serve with Waffen-SS units through to the fall of Berlin in 1945. This book narrates the experiences of the common soldier, exploring his motivation for serving the Wehrmacht, and detailing his dramatic experiences in a brutal and hostile theatre of World War II.

The Condor Legion

German Troops in the Spanish Civil War

By: Carlos Caballero Jurado

The Condor Legion was the expeditionary force of soldiers and airmen sent by Hitler to aid Franco's Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War. The Germans used the war as an opportunity to develop equipment and tactics, and their force included not only instructors, but also combat units of artillery, tanks and aircraft. These units tested guns, tanks and planes and perfected techniques which were used in the 1940 Blitzkrieg. Many of officers prominent in the early campaigns of World War II won their first successes in Spain. This book details the Legion and its unique uniform and insignia.

Germany's Eastern Front Allies (2)

Baltic Forces

By: Nigel Thomas,Carlos Caballero Jurado

The Baltic nations Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania enjoyed a brief independence between the World Wars before being annexed by the USSR in 1940. The grim experience of Soviet occupation made it inevitable that after the German invasion of Russia in 1941 they would fight beside the Wehrmacht as allies against the Red Army while always hoping for restored independence. That hope was crushed again in 1944-45; yet 'Forest Brother' guerrillas continued to fight against hopeless odds for years after the second Soviet occupation. This extraordinary story is illustrated here with rare photos, insignia charts, tables of units and detailed uniform plates.

Ending the Siege of Leningrad

German and Spanish Artillery at the Battle of Krasny Bor

By: Carlos Caballero Jurado

This vivid combat history examines the role of German and Spanish artillery in the WW2 fight for control of Leningrad. When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, it quickly established a blockade around Leningrad that would become one of the longest and most destructive in history. In an attempt to break the blockade in 1943, the Red Army launched an offensive near the town of Krasny Bor. Previous works on the Battle of Krasny Bor have focused on the infantry involved, while little attention has been paid to the use of German and Spanish artillery in the conflict. In Ending the Siege of Leningrad, Spanish military historian Carlos Caballero Jurado corrects this oversight. Describing the action from an artilleryman’s point of view, Jurado puts the reader in the heart of the battle.
