I've found the books 'Cossacks in the german army 1941-45' and 'Pannwitz's Cossacks 1942-45'. Are these books any good and how are the books (in terms of pictures, maps, text etc)?
regards
Cossack books

They are good...
Charlie,
I saw those titles (Bender, right?) at the military library at FHS in Stockholm and they are top-notch. A lot of pics, plenty of informative text. Only thing not too good are the maps. As usual you'll have to find German "Munin" or "Podzun Pallas" books to get good map references.

Cossacks in the German Army is a good basic text, though quite overpriced. A decent out of print book with similar details is The Forgotten Axis, by J. Lee Ready. The Pannwitz Cossacks book is the best photographic coverage of the subject yet assembled, though you should note that most of the photographs involve the Cossack Corps in occupied Yogoslavia (taken by official German PK photographers, Heimdal found the captured photos in the French ECPA arcives). There is little coverage of Cossacks away from this theater of war.

Name of the Stockholm bookstore
"Charlie",
It is "Mar-Gies" on Roslagsgatan. The lady who runs it is very good to deal with (though not particurlaly into military history, she must have someone in her staff who runs the military part!).
Mind you she is quite expensive and I rarely buy any books there anymore. The net is a better (and cheaper!) place.
