In this second volume on the Sturmgeschu¨tze of the Waffen-SS, the reader will find the history of the assault guns of the 'Totenkopf', first articulated as a single battery, and later as a powerful Abteilung of three batteries. Plunged into the throes of the Demiansk pocket in the winter of 1941/42, the Sturmartilleristen experienced almost continuous heavy fighting until Austria in the spring of 1945, including Operation Zitadelle in July 1943 and Poland the following summer. This part is particularly illustrated by a rich iconography thanks to the legacy of Untersturmfu¨hrer Jänisch or Unterscharfu¨hrer Mödlinger. Belonging to a less prestigious, though very interesting, large unit, the assault guns of the "Polizei" division - a particularity of the StuG. IV -, accompanied by unpublished photographs, showing little-known engagements such as Greece or those in Banat and Hungary in the autumn of 1944. Finally, the StuG. III of the 'Wiking', who distinguished themselves in the horror of the Cherkassy pocket, among other places. Whether they were organised as a single battery, a formidable group, integrated into armoured vehicles, tank fighters or the Sturmartillery itself, the assault guns played an essential role in the fight against Soviet armour. In addition to immersive photos and testimonies, the book also provides detailed biographies of aces and holders of the StuG. Ritterkreuz of these divisions, such as Berndt Lubich von Milovan, Ernst Dehmel, Richard Utgenannt, Hans-Georg Jessen and Willy Hein.
