A new book from Peko Publishing is now available for preorder. Written by Ian Michael Wood, it will cover the History of the Totenkopf's Panther-Abteilung.
With 180 pages and 33 photos, it seems to be mostly a text book, contrary to other titles from the publisher.

According to the author, it started as a short appendix to his History of the 3. SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" but evolved to a whole book itself. The first part deals with I/SS-Panzer Regiment 3 in 1942, when the unit was equipped with Panzer III's and IV's, until its conversion to the Panther tank during late 1943.

From the summer of 1944, Abteilung fought in Siedlce and later in the defensive battles east and north east of Warsaw.

Later during 1945, the Abteilung would take part in the Konrad operations in Hungary in an attempt to relieve the forces trapped inside Budapest. By March 1945 the remnants of I/SS-Panzer Regiment 3 was in full retreat and would eventually surrender in May 1945 in Austria.

It can be pre-ordered at a discounted price directly from the publisher
