‘FLAK’ HOUSES THEN AND NOW
‘Flak’ Houses were the rest homes set up in England
during the Second World War by the American Red
Cross to provide centres of rest and recuperation for
combat-weary airmen. These were usually situated in
large country houses where flyers were permitted to
wear civilian clothes and partake in a variety of
sporting and recreational activities. All told, some
87,000 men passed through the R&R system before it
disbanded in 1945.
Keith Thomas covers the history of more than 20 Flak
Houses in Britain and, in keeping with the theme of
After the Battle
publications, all are illustrated with
‘then and now’ comparison photos.

RÜCKMARSCH THEN AND NOW
Jean Paul Pallud
A magnificent collection of photographs . . . this volume is a
masterpiece, it is a must buy . . . and a must read.
AMAZON
Following the successful landing by the Allied armies in Normandy in June 1944, Hitler's
forces battled for two months to contain the bridgehead. However, when his last-ditch
attempt to recover the initiative with Operation Lüttich — the counter-attack from
Mortain on August 7 — failed, it was an implied admission that his armies in the West
had been defeated.
From that starting point, Jean Paul Pallud takes up the story, following in the footsteps
of the Germans as they retreat across France. The next days and weeks were ones of
confusion for the German command with staffs and technical services dispersed;
command and communication virtually non-existent; roads congested and strafed, and
directives to build new stop-lines almost immediately rendered obsolete by the flow of
events . . . all within a matter of a few days.
Although the Germans lost nearly 300,000 men during the retreat — either killed,
wounded, missing, or taken prisoner — nevertheless it was not necessarily an Allied
victory as by the beginning of September German forces had turned round and were
once more standing firm, this time along the 650 kilometres between Switzerland and
the North Sea.
This, then, is that story . . . told through hundreds of 'then and now' comparison
photographs by the author, and which includes some quite amazing discoveries that
he made along the way.

AFTER THE BATTLE BOUND VOLUME 33
This 33rd bound volume of
After the Battle
(issues 129 to 132) includes major features on
the battle for Florence in mid-July 1944, and for Leipzig in April 1945 which was one of the
last big German cities to be captured by the American army in World War II.
We also visit Papua New Guinea where in February 1944 the US Fifth Air Force despatched
a force of 156 light, medium and heavy bombers to attack the Japanese base of Kavieng on
New Ireland; France to describe the commemoration of the clandestine Allied parachutists
who jumped in the Alps during the Second World War in Operation ‘Spindle’; Italy where in
April 1945 the 2nd New Zealand Division launched an attack from its bridgehead across the
Sillaro river near Sesto Imolese in the course of which Lance-Corporal John Tucker of the
27th Battalion knocked out two German Panther tanks but was cut down by Spandau fire
while attacking a third, and to Germany, the location of Flossenbürg, one of the deadliest Nazi
concentration camps where at least 30,000 perished.
Daniel Taylor, author of
Villers-Bocage Through the Lens,
has revisited that town and
presents a re-appraisal of the battle when the Sharpshooters came up against the German
tank ace Michael Wittmann.
The underwater discoveries of the cruiser
Charybdis
and the destroyer
Limbourne
63 years
after they were sunk by German torpedoes in the English Channel, is contrasted by a trip back
in time to the Desert Training Center established by the US Army in California/Arizona in 1942
under General George S. Patton to prepare troops for warfare against the German Afrikakorps
in North Africa. We also explore the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the medieval Dover Castle
on the white cliffs facing the Channel, used as a secret headquarters ever since Admiral
Ramsay masterminded the evacuation from Dunkirk in 1940.
We also tell the stories of the controversial war memorial in Tokyo — the Yasukuni Jinja
shrine — a legacy of Japan’s pre-war union of religion and state, and, controversial for reasons of grandeur, the National World War II
Memorial in Washington inaugurated in May 2004 to honour all those that served, fought and died during the Second World War.
It was also in Washington during the American Civil War that the estate surrounding Arlington House, situated on a hilltop
overlooking the Potomac river, was requisitioned by the Union Army to create what is now probably the best known national
cemetery in the world.
Other features cover the end of a Halifax crew over Germany and the worst aircraft crash in the UK during the war when an
American B-24 Liberator bomber came down in Freckleton in rural Lancashire killing 61 people.
Finally, Jean Paul Pallud tells the story of the Norwegian King who withdrew to Great Britain on June 7, 1940 following the German
invasion of his country, and takes us through to his return on June 7, 1945 . . . five years to the day of his departure.
Plus our From the Editor feature which contains readers’ letters and follow-up stories from previous issues.

Rose E. B. Coombs, MBE
An excellent and painstakingly well researched
record that will be a reference as long as interest
in this devastating war continues.
SOLDIER
COMPLETELY REVISED AND ENLARGED
EDITION
with 64 extra pages
From the Belgian coast, across the fields of Flanders, over
the valley of the Somme and down the line to the Argonne:
all the major battlefields of the First World War — Ypres,
Arras, Cambrai,Amiens, St Quentin, Mons, Le Cateau,
Reims,Verdun and St Mihiel — are criss-crossed in this
book over more than thirty different routes, each clearly
shown on a Michelin map. Every significant feature is
described in detail. Indispensable for anyone contemplating
a tour of the battlefields in Belgium and France, this book
combines the years of knowledge, travel and research of its
author, Rose Coombs, who worked at the Imperial War
Museum in London for nearly forty years.
Since her death in 1991,
After the Battle’s
Editor, Karel
Margry, has travelled every route, checking and revising
the text where necessary, as well as re-photographing every
memorial. Many new ones are included, yet we have
striven to keep true to the flavour of Rose’s original
concept . . . before endeavours fade.
