Let's look at the contents of this new issue, as always full of so many novelties to immediately report the inclusion of a new section dedicated to modeling, where we try to provide fully comprehensive aspects about uniform also presented figures on the technical aspects and on the means and the weapons or the same story of the departments regarding the models. It 'the first of a series of new sections that we intend to inaugurate our publication, to address topics such as postal history, decorations and uniforms. For the History of the Waffen SS, we still talk about the use of the Das Reich on the Eastern Front, between autumn and winter of 1943-44. It continues with the next interesting article by Charles Trang, on the use of 19.SS on the front of Courland. Following is the second part of the great work dedicated to s.SS-Pz.Abt.503, very well documented and rich photographic material, which will continue in the next issue with the biography of some of its members bravest. Very interesting is the testimony of war by Otto Carius, on the face of Narwa, alongside units of the SS Division 'Nordland'. For the history of SS departments, concludes the discussion of 17.SS, with the final analysis of its use in 1945. For heading 'Men in War', in this issue analyzes the figures of Gustav Knittel, brave officer of the Leibstandarte and Siegfried Brosow, another Knight's Cross of the Division Das Reich.
