Seelow Heights Photo Review

Haven't posted for a while, so I thought everyone might like to see the various photos that were taken for the Seelow Heights scenario book published a few years back. For such a little known Eastern Front operation, the book sold surprisingly well, but I am down to my last few copies and doubt I will be re-printing it any time soon, so here are a few bits of eye candy to brighten the festive mood!! They are in no particular order, but I have included the odd comment or piece of identification. I hope you enjoy looking through it.

                           Initially considered this for the front cover

Men of the Bremen Police Battalion prepare to meet the Soviet onslaught!!

            Three shots of German paras engaged in house to house fighting.

                            The final front cover photo, more or less.

                                                   One of my favourites.

                                                    The rear cover photo.

                                             Another one of my favourites.

                                                    ....and another!

                                                 Quite like this one too.

                                             Simple but effective.

All the photos were taken by long term friend and fellow wargamer John Smith, who has done quite a bit of this kind of thing for, amongst other Colin Rumford and Rapid Fire!
