Wanted: Glantz Atlas & Operational Summary Border Battles

[Gotzingen]

If anyone has a copy of David Glantz's "Atlas and Operational Summary of the Border Battles, 22 June-1 July 1941" to sell, please PM me. Thanks.

I have emailed Mr Glantz about http://www.glantzbooks.com/ and will post again when I recieve a reply.

I do have a copy, the only Atlas I have, and it is quite a big and heavy item. The redrawn maps are really nice but technology has advanced so far that the copies maps should really be replaced with better copies. Sorry I do not want to sell it.

Thanks. I've emailed Mr. Glantz. In your opinion, are the maps good quality (clear lines and annotations)? I read a lot of criticism by book reviewers about the poor quality and quantity of maps in what are otherwise very good books, Glantz' included.

The volume is made up of three types of maps: redrawn (very-good), Soviet (better than most on the interest), and captured German Maps (i.e. NARA material and they are crap compared to the quality of the maps on the NARA rolls). I don't have it in front of me but my Goldfish Memory seem to think they are about 30% each.

Are they worth it? Buy one and you decide. Depending on what Mr. Glantz replies to my mail, I may ask what it would cost for a complete set. They contain material not found collected anywhere else.

If I had so sum it up say, "expensive and for the serious student."

I have recently posted a few map volumes in the archive section. Check Free NARA Rolls (Oct 2104) and Free NARA Rolls (23 Oct 2014) there are 157 rolls and quite a number contain quailty maps in them. T312 R367 (AOK 11), T312 R672 (AOK 17) and T313 R22 (1 PzG) all contain quailty maps concerning the Border Battle of Army Group South in them.

That's a terrific resource, many thanks for putting in the work and sharing it.

The USPS wants to charge almost the same amount to ship Glantz's atlas (about 5 lbs weight) from the US to Europe as it costs to buy the book. Shame. Whatever happened to surface mail??!!

I recently bought 6 atlases from David Glantz. Amazing material to say the least. In my opinion well worth the money.
