August 13th, 2023 – Update

Dear Friends,

Today, we have some housekeeping to take care of – some news and information on a new book from Loyalty and Honour Publishing (LAH), plus a shipping update on two titles.

This week we will be placing an order for the new book, The Men of SS-Schule Tölz, as well as a couple of titles from LAH that have been reprintedSommer 1943 – Totenkopf Division, and Das Reich Tiger Commander. Please place your orders by end of day, Sunday, August 20th, 2023 so that we know how many to bring in from England.

For those who ordered Waffen-SS Camouflage Uniforms, we should have it here by the end of this week and will fill all orders as soon as possible – we have several extra if you have not ordered it yet.

Lastly, for those who ordered Junkers Ju 88 Volume 3, we will have it in early September. The North American distributor has unfortunately gone out of business and it was quite a chore to find a supplier. That said, we will be receiving a limited quantity of this title. If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, do not delay!

That’s all for now. We hope that you have a great week. The next titles up for auction will be announced in the next few days!
