Poursuivant sa série sur les Sturmgeschütze des Waffen-SS, dans ce 3e tome, Pierre Tiquet étudie trois grandes unités impliquées sur des théâtres d'opérations souvent secondaires: deux divisions de montagne - les 6e et 7e -, puis une de cavalerie - la 8e -. Souvent moins évoquées, elles sont cependant passionnantes et ont été confrontées à des combats opiniâtres.

La « Nord étant pour l'essentiel engagée sur le front de Laponie, très inhospitalier, ses StuG. y ont une existence limitée, peu appropriés au terrain du Grand Nord. Également Gebirgs-Division, la « Prinz Eugen sert principalement dans les montagnes yougoslaves contre les partisans de Tito, quoiqu'en Serbie, sa batterie de StuG. 40 s'illustrera avec brio contre l'Armée rouge, avec à sa tête l'Ostuf. Harry Paletta. Enfin, sont évoqués les canons d'assaut de la « Florian Geyer , elle aussi largement engagée en contre-guérilla, avant de l'être contre les Soviétiques en Ukraine, en Transylvanie et lors de la terrible bataille d'encerclement de Budapest.

C'est également l'occasion pour l'auteur de mettre en relief l'engagement plus général de chacune de ces divisions, avec des photographies largement inédites, voire des reportages uniques, en évoquant aussi leurs formations de Panzerjäger et de chars de combat. Agréable à lire, l'ouvrage est enrichi de cartes et profils en couleurs, mais aussi de biographies précises et documentées de plusieurs figures emblématiques de ces trois grandes unités - Matthias Kleinheisterkamp, Otto Kumm ou encore Hermann Fegelein.

**********

Continuing his series on the Sturmgeschütze of the Waffen-SS, in this 3rd volume, Pierre Tiquet studies three large units involved in often secondary theaters of operations: two mountain divisions - the 6th and 7th -, then one of cavalry - the 8th. Often less mentioned, they are nevertheless fascinating and have been confronted with stubborn fights.

The "North" being essentially engaged on the Lapland front, very inhospitable, its StuG. have a limited existence there, not very appropriate to the terrain of the Far North. Also Gebirgs-Division, the "Prinz Eugen" served mainly in the Yugoslav mountains against Tito's partisans, although in Serbia, its StuG battery. 40 will shine brilliantly against the Red Army, led by the Ostuf. Harry Paletta. Finally, the assault guns of the "Florian Geyer" are also mentioned, also largely engaged in counter-guerrilla warfare, before being engaged against the Soviets in Ukraine, in Transylvania and during the terrible encirclement battle of Budapest.

It is also an opportunity for the author to highlight the more general commitment of each of these divisions, with largely unpublished photographs, even unique reports, also evoking their Panzerjäger and battle tank formations. Pleasant to read, the book is enriched with color maps and profiles, but also precise and documented biographies of several emblematic figures of these three major units - Matthias Kleinheisterkamp, ​​Otto Kumm and Hermann Fegelein.
