From the Realm of a Dying Sun: IV. SS-Panzerkorps and the Battles for Warsaw, July–November 1944 Kindle Edition

Another outstanding effort by historian Douglas Nash. I've been interested in his writings since reading "Hell's Gate" years ago. Nash seems to be able to burrow into the same primary sources and use them in a way to present something new and detailed. In this case, he presents the history of the IVth SS Panzer Korps during the desperate attempts to stop the Russian steamroller after Operation Bagration in the Summer of 1944. I greatly enjoy how Nash follows one unit (and it's attachments) over a period in time, providing detail and depictions that you don't typically find in other narratives. I'm a long-time WW II amateur historian, and I learned things from this book. Five stars.

This book is the best book on ?World War Two I have read this year. The author, Douglas Nash, has produced a book with the passages easy to read and captivating. I really like the way he starts the story by beginning with "what is in a Panzer Corps" and continues it with the narrative of the IV SS Panzer Corps in action. My only regret with this book is that I finished it! Nash as a style of writing that flows and is a real pleasure to read, he has become my new favorite author. I find it hard to wait for his other books i ordered to arrive! Read this book, you will not be disappointed!

Enjoyed the history, however more from the individuals who participated and less on the statistics would have provided the reader with a more in depth feel for the struggle

This author must have spent an incredibleAmount of time and research to author this book. Bery

It’s about time someone started writing histories of German units in World War II it would be nice if they would do British French Russian and Italian units also but this is an excellent history

The most comprehensive histories on the 4th SS Pz Korps ever written. I enjoyed going back and forth between media, hard cover, kindle, and audible versions. Thank You so much for the monumental effort.

Nice page turner work on combat on the Eastern Front involving the Waffen SS! If you like works on Eastern Front combat, you'll love this work! A real page turner!

This one is a standard "I'm not interested in Nazi history, I'm just interested in German military history" book. We saw them before.It's not so bad, really. Author's language is not completely awful, the story itself told is interesting and overlooked part of WWII. You'd get new information from this book. I do not consider this book to be a net loss.But. Do we REALLY need another translation and compilation of German reports and works from 1944-45 and 50s-60s? The book site 3 Russian books in bibliography (one is Rokossovski's memoir) and the author knows about Russian archives. That's all. And that sucks.It's 2020. You can get the numbers of divisions which attacked the Nazis. You can get their strength and their losses. Nothing is done - Soviet (author is not OK with Nazis calling their enemies Russians, it tells a lot) losses are straight from German reports. It's like reading Soviet or neo-Soviet histories, where Heer was wiped out by late 1941 and all German men were killed by 1943. If you have problem with Russian language - there're lots of websites where you can hire your own translator/compilator for single-digit $/hr rates.Second. You're writiting about SS. You're writing about Warsaw uprising. But, really, if we read the book - these guys are "just soldiers". Really. There were lots of atrocities by IV SS Panzer Corps units, nothing is written about that.Third. Maps. That's everybody's (well, nearly everybody's) fault. But - that's 2020. Why do I have to use Google Maps to find the places where the fighting is going on.Fourth. Tables. None of them. Why not add information about organization and strenght (and losses) of units in readable format?

Have bought the books in the set and also the Audible book and kindle so able to read or listen when or where. Was engrossed in subject have listen read a few times and managed to buy other items related to subject, Russian view, Hungarian, Polish, French.

A real well written and researched book. I've read a lot of books about the Eastern front. This one rates quite high.
