Thanks!

Interesting subject. But the selected language is a "low" to me. Nothing against French. But just as with German-speaking books about generally interesting subjects one simply misses the possibility to sell more books. I hope that it will be publish in english too.

The French-only choice will limit the book's appeal outside of France (not that that ever held the French back ). But it's nice to see the many other vehicles in the KG Peiper. As Jerry Rutman once pointed out, the Tiger IIs were supporting characters in the Group, and we should be paying much more attention to the IVs and half-tracks.

Thanks Bill,for the plug! I would add the Panthers did the lions' share of that battlegroups' work.
Still the best ever series on this topic remains the Duel in the Mist books. Can't be beat!!! IMHO of course,and no connection to the authors/seller

Well, Volume One on Amazon is $500, so this might be a more reasonable alternative, LOL.
