German Ground Forces British Army Review wrote: "impossible not to become totally absorbed by the information… deserves very careful consideration… much excellent work."
*2. Hitler’s Dying Ground: Disintegration of German Army* Contains deployment and organization data from army groups to regiment. There are detailed unit lists to format of Order of Battle information at the division level. The book includes details on morbidity and demographics and provides substantial evidence of a substantial German defeat before Pearl Harbor. The data conclusively shows that the decision ultimately came in the East, where 80% of German losses took place. This volume provides an invaluable examination of cohesion and motivation that goes well beyond the infantile "band of brothers" logic. For example, there is a careful analysis of the General Staff structure with subsequent disputes between the Army (OKH) and Joint Staff (OKW) and the failures that it caused. 120 charts & illustrations including 70 in color.

*5. Hitler’s Elite Guard: Between Fascism and Genocide* The criminals running this country are not very creative and to a large extent they try to imitate proven patterns. This book will help you understand how the Nazi police system worked and what changes are now taking place in the U.S. Police State. Hitler became a dictator under the presumed authority of "emergency powers" granted by the Weimar Constitution. He promptly forced the military to swear personal allegiance to himself and the Fuehrer Prinzip was the essence of Nazi control (i.e., the leader is responsible). He then created unconstitutional military branches such as the Air Force and SS (militarized police). In terms of military units, this book adds 70 non-Army divisions (Waffen SS, Flak, Parachute, etc.) to the descriptions in book #3. It also provides three officer rosters with details of Nazi "elitism" that offers insight into the modern U.S. military industrial complex. 74ch & tables + 70 color illus.

U.S. Army Units 20 U.S. Army Order of Battle, Mediterranean & Europe, Order of Battle This book and its supplement summarize the major Army Ground Forces in the African, Mediterranean and European Theater of Operations (ETO) in World War 2. It examines America’s front east of the Atlantic where most of the 88 committed U.S. divisions saw action. Including forces in the Pacific, Army Ground Forces (AGF) Headquarters administered 4,424,000 men, including 230,000 officers; more than half not deployed overseas. Provides detailed description of units on both fronts from Army Group to division. Campaign & assault credits, specific casualty data, unit detachments, and new chapter on mobilization failures. The main controversy remains as to why so few divisions were mobilized. The last chapter explains the "old boy" agenda. 30 charts + 71 illustrations. 202p.

Russo-German War Campaigns Each volume contains summary of major actions, usually at army level, and chapters are organized from Finland and Army Group North southward. Most of the material was never published and, even now, is changing understanding of the war. The simple truth is that Germany was already decisively beaten before Pearl Harbor and after 1942 there were strong political motivations to obscure the nature of the war.
*24 Russo-German War, 1941-43* The completely revised edition of an earlier title numbered as #14 was finished in July and the color cover is now being added. This book is being released as a comb-bound edition that will be updated annually. It is in a large (8.5 x 11) format and includes two chapters that overflowed from book #26. It is therefore far longer than other books in the Russo-German War series. It has heavy emphasis in the planning for Operation Barbarossa and examines the various operational failures up to Spring 1943. Besides exposing German technical and planning blunders it discusses some of the political myths of the early operations. There is obvious German command Indecision at critical points in both the 1941 and 1942 campaign. The major Soviet Offensives from November 1942 to March 1943 show that the German disaster on the Volga was actually far more extensive than admitted by the official historians of the West, probably due to Cold War revisionism.

	Conclusion
*26 Russo-German War, Summer 1941* Close examination of the three main offensives, plus the often neglected fiasco in Finland. Shows why turning point of war took place before U.S. entered it. 90 charts & maps (4 color); The original first two chapters were moved to book #24 so this volume concentrates on the combat operations of the summer campaign, including the often neglected Romanian campaigns. 100p.
*27 Russo-German War, Autumn 1941 (copy)* Before start of a World War on 11 Dec. 1941, the Slavic people had already lost four times as many soldiers as U.S. lost in all the wars it ever fought! The Autumn campaign was actually about the collapse of Operation Typhoon. Despite revisionist history to the contrary, this book should leave no doubt that Operation Barbarossa was defeated long before the United States even entered the war. Introduction gives significant economic, racial & ethnic data. AG North includes action on Baltic islands and traces the advance past Leningrad until its defeat at Tikhvin. AG Center shows the defeat in front of Moscow with particular emphasis on the fighting on the south flank. AG South was repulsed at Rostov and stopped in the Crimea. 72 maps (4 color), 51 charts, 16 illus. The first edition of this item sold out. This reprinted edition is the same as the original but comb-bound.

*28 Russo-German War, Winter-Spring 1942* The harsh winter battles with German efforts toward recovery, that proved impossible. Crimea campaign.
*29 Russo-German War, Summer-Autumn 1942* Failure of oil grabbing Operation Brunswick (formerly Blue); that began the destruction of three Axis armies near Stalingrad. Details involvement of Romanians
*30 Russo-German War, Winter-Spring 1943* Three more Axis armies (6) blown away. Emphasizes hopeless situation after the collapse of Fortress Stalingrad campaign. Details the uncertain build-up for the forlorn Citadel Offensive. This volume covers most of the second phase (of four) in the Soviet official history.
*31 Russo-German War, Summer-Fall 1943* First edition was published in 1987 and soon sold out. The new facsimile edition is available in July for the 60^th anniversary. Emphasis is on Operation Citadel which included the greatest tank battle in history. You are not supposed to know that It was actually several battles that culminated in a major retreat beyond Orel to the Hagen line in Army Group Center. In Army Group South, the inept 25 mile death ride of an SS Corps was followed by the Soviet Belgorod-Kharkov operation. There is also a detailed study of the rebuilt Sixth German Army on Mius River line that shows what competent (non-SS) tank units accomplished. By the end of summer the German front was in a shambles and retreating along 800 miles of an 1100 mile front (from Leningrad to Crimea). In the autumn campaigns, the emphasis is on the First Panzer Army battles and the Eighth Army retreat behind Dnepr River. It includes coverage of the Soviet airborne operation around Kanev. 70 maps (3 c.), 51 charts, 16 illus. This new edition adds considerable detail about how the summer campaign influenced the war and reveals the Anglo-American blunders and war crimes that the old boys still want to keep secret. No wonder Ike didn’t mention this campaign in his Crusade for Europe, where he was engaging less than 3% of the German Army. This volume covers the third of four phases in the Soviet official history. After December it was mostly a matter of encircling the broken pieces.

*36 Russo-German War, Balkan Campaigns: 1940-44* A valuable addition to the history of a long troubled region where the United States is currently engaged. The Balkans were directly related to war on the eastern front and the "soft underbelly" of Europe, ignored by the Allies. That failure prolonged the war and continued a Slavic holocaust (first documented here) by country. It exceeded twenty million. The book includes German, Italian, and Soviet operations. It is really four books in one because it covers the initial invasions, the occupation campaigns against partisans, Italian liberation (Sept. 1943), and the 1944 arrival of Red Army (including destruction German Army Group South Ukraine. As if all that were not enough this book provides tables X.1 & 2 that expose how the United States prolonged the war and at what cost. Chronologies of political & strategic perspective. 70 maps (15 in color), 10 charts. It is in an 8½ x 11" format. This volume has more color maps than any of the others above.

East Front Map Sets (for GAMEplan accounts) P. These consist of 8 x 10" color pictures based on the Ost-Lage collection (some originals were 6 ft. square) and used for top-level decision making. They were priced at $4.00 each and intended to sell in "sets" of four at $14, but they are no longer packaged as such (took too much time). If you order at least four photos, then each will be priced at $3.50 each. For example, ten photos would be $35, plus out regular discount of 3% (up to 20% over $200). Many are sold out so have a list of substitutes. The production Plan Was Map Supplement #1 (4 maps 2^nd Quarter 1941), #2 (4 maps 3^rd Quarter 1941), #3 (4 Maps, 4^th Quarter 1941), #4 (4 Maps 1^st Quarter-1942), #5 (4 Maps 2^nd Quarter 1942), #6 (4 Maps 3^rd Quarter 1942), #7 (4 Maps 4^th Quarter 1942), #8 (4 Maps I Quarter 1943), #9 (4 Maps II Quarter 1943 ), #10 (4 Maps, III Quarter 1943), #11 (4 Maps, IV Quarter 1943), #12 (4 Maps I Quarter 1944), #13 (4 Maps, II Quarter 1944); #14 A (4 Maps) July 1944, #14B (4 Maps) August 1944, C (5 Maps) September 1944; #15A (4 Maps) October 1944, #15B (4 Maps) November 1944, #15C (4 Maps) December 1944; #16 A (4 Maps) January 1945, #16B (4 Maps) February 1945, #16C (4 Maps) March 1945; #17 (4 Maps) April - May 1945. Because color photos are expensive and each took a long time to prepare the profit was slim, so the above Project Was Deferred, until the basic book series (#26-37) is complete. The following list reflects our old inventory and includes individual photos that were later withdrawn from production. We recently did a new edition of book #33 (summer 1944) and are working on 2^nd editions of #34 & #35, so those sets are closer to completion. You may randomly mix items from the entire list but it is best to include alternate selections, or a refund will be sent based on the $4 per picture price (if under four.) Remember that any copies that you do not want can be returned within 30 days for full refund (if undamaged).

Political Organizing 38 War’s Moral Equivalent This is our first political book. It is written as organizing theory for the newly forming grassroots coalition. It offers a 5 step explanation on resisting the robber baron confederacy. The book shows how corporatism operates with a further description on how to dismantle this unique form of American proto-fascism: 9 charts & tables, 200p. *Thomas Paine (in Common Sense) noted:*
	"I draw my idea of the form of government from a principle in nature, which no art can overturn, namely, that the more simple anything is, the less liable it is to be disordered, and the easier repaired when disordered…"
Chapter 1	*Know Evil.* If the goal is morality, then those who promote evil are the enemy. The three political groups are people, patricians, and pirates. The latter are like plantation slavemasters or brutish British "privateers" but now usually hide behind corporate veils. They operate a virtual occupation government (Hanoverian, Confederate, Fascistic). Between 1886 and 1933, greedy patricians also joined in a seditious "special relationship" to dismantle democracy and demoralize resistance through a process of deconstruction, diversion, distraction, disinformation, and racial/ethnic division. Patricians are less malevolent but, contrary to the Constitution, they unjustly concede that giant corporations and monopolies have a right to exist in America. National labor leaders, while pretending to represent all workers, often join in synergy against the people. Most American esquires also support this lawless conspiracy against the decencies of western civilization. American murder to the sound of bugles can be traced from fire storming Hamburg in July 1943 to present forms of international nuclear extortion. Such power was unknown to previous pirates.
Chapter 2	*Know yourself.* Reduce what psychologists call "cognitive dissonance," which results both from logical failure and from assigning false equivalency to daily trivia like sports events or video chatter versus genuinely critical moral issues like war crimes. It results in an individual bewilderment that combines into national apathy. For example, the elite carefully maintains illusions of freedom by manufacturing consent in an educational process that ranges from subtle emotional influence to brainwashing weak personalities and most Americans cling to the idea that this country is a democratic republic. Added to normal disruptions in absorbing factual information, such dissonance can ultimately build emotional frustration into a neurosis of reality denial and, if you feel this, imagine how it impacts on young people. Understanding certain "first principles" can provide essential tools to avoid kidding yourself. Even those not ready to act against evil can reduce the damage. If you don’t deal with reality then it will deal with you.
Chapter 3	*First Principles.* The reality of corporate tyranny (fascism) has to do with a robber-baron confederacy and manipulation by the black-robed lawyers (praetors) integral to any police state. The place to search domestically is in the flow of their stolen money, where it mixes with the stink of hypocrisy in cesspools of power. Aristocracy never wished America well and hates the equality of democracy’s motto: "nothing to us, without us." Corporations are instruments of exclusion and now print or inflate money through tokens, passes, casino stocks, and junk bonds. The founders fought against similar royal charters (neither corporation nor lawyer appears in the Constitution). Evil grows when good or ignorant citizens silently accept such unaccountable representation. Until focus returns to criminally indicting this evil, we can be sure that both police and economic violence will continue. A solution in the Constitution needs to be recalled. A frame of reference in restoring justice gives our feet a firm foundation.
Chapter 4	*Fix the Enemy.* Demanding justice against modern pirates can "fix" evil within popular perception. January 1943 is a milestone for this purpose because that is when Roosevelt decreed an unconditional surrender policy, which quickly degenerated into an unlimited, barbaric warfare. Under consent manufactured by a military-industrial complex, it led to first use of atomic weapons in defense of foreign colonial interests,. Is the elite who engaged in mass murder in WW2, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq, and Yugoslavia capable of leading us? For example, is it merely outrageous that those who condoned the Tonkin Gulf fraud (a pretext to invade Indochina) remain in office, or is it criminal? How many Americans were killed by being denied adequate health care, in blatant violation of the 14^th Amendment? By citing specific laws (conspiracy, fraud, malfeasance, racketeering, obstructing justice, sedition, etc.), a legal record of indictment can charge evildoers. The seditiously unconstitutional idea that judges (rather than juries) are empowered with "judicial review" can also be challenged by indictments. If most of the 1 of 50 citizens in prison or probation are there for non-violent acts, should brutal politicians stay free? This sedition is explained in the book, but suffice it to note that here that the Republican Party blatantly violated the Article V "equal suffrage" clause of the Constitution. For example, the ratio of representatives was about 28,100 to 1 in 1790. Now it is over 500,000 to 1 (and rising daily.) Politicians never had a right to dissolve fair representation except by a formal amendment, so the original democratic ratios can be a basis for a nonviolent domestic provisional government.
Chapter 5	*Restore Justice.* If evil institutions had no right to begin then they can have no right to continue, but reform won’t happen by whining for fairness. Those who come between the people and their law, either in ignorance or black-robed malevolence, obstruct justice. Ejecting them is a civil (citizen) duty and right. Once citizens unlearn "public" (corporate) school propaganda to recognize lying legalisms, they can start passively resisting injustice. After that it’s a matter of restoring judicial limits and levels of congressional representation that existed after the first U.S. census. (After the first apportionment in 1790 there were 140 senators and representatives for about 3.93 million people. The foreign occupation government is unstable and can be tipped over if such unified action properly leverages the crowbar. The natural Allies for America are people in other countries who value human rights in written constitutions. Global pacifism should start by indicting American war crimes and state terrorism. As confusion clears, global monitoring of international crimes through a World Court or United Nations can follow. Naturally the pirates oppose the creation of such a court but they have names and addresses. Isn’t it time for eviction?
