The Axis Forces 7 Massimiliano Afiero

Hi everybody, our magazine is getting more and more interesting, but we still need your collaboration to continue to grow and above all, to continue to improve our contents. In order to do this it is necessary that you send us your positive or negative comments, about our articles. Knowing what really matters to our readers is essential to advance and better guide our historical research. In each new issue we always try to tackle different and varied subjects, to try to please everyone. We have already received some feedback and we are trying to widen the topics covered in our magazine to all the Axis nations and to all foreign volunteer units, trying to deal with unpublished topics and subjects that have not yet been adequately covered by official historiography. In this new issue, we start with an article dedicated to Norwegian Volunteer Legion, we continue with a biography of Ernst Barkmann, a soldier in the Das Reich division and the first part of the article about the Barbarigo Battalion on the Anzio front. You will find a research article by Mark Rikmenspoel relating to the Waffen SS Kriegsberichter. Then we report the employment of the Götz von Berlichingen Waffen SS division on the Carentan front, in the summer of 1944, the third part of the work on the Hungarian armored units on the Eastern front and finally the second part of photographic reportage dedicated to the SS-Hauptsturmführer Hans-Jörg Hartmann. Happy reading to everyone and see you in the next issue.
