Arthur W. Gullachsen, "The Defeat and Attrition of the 12. SS-Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend: Volume II: Operations Martlet, Epsom, Windsor and Charnwood 11 June-12 July 1944" (Casemate, 2026)

Gullachsen's second volume on the destruction of the 12th SS-Panzer-Division Hitlerjugend covers the critical Normandy operations — Martlet, Epsom, Windsor, and Charnwood — during the desperate month after D-Day. This is granular divisional-level combat history in the bocage and around Caen, exactly the kind of operational detail that reveals how attrition ground down a near-full-strength Panzer division. An hour-long interview that should appeal to anyone serious about the Normandy campaign.

Gullachsen discusses his granular operational study of 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend during the critical first month after D-Day — covering Operations Martlet, Epsom, Windsor, and Charnwood in detail. This is the Normandy campaign at divisional level: how a near-full-strength panzer division was ground down by British and Canadian operations around Caen. An hour of the kind of Normandy operational history that rewards listeners who already know the broad strokes and want the mechanics underneath.
