The third Volume in Mark Yerger's much praised series detailing Holders of the German Cross in Gold amongest the SS and police has just been published , the above link will bring you to a preview of the book.
Mark has told me that his 4th Volume is ready to go to the printers and should follow number three quite quickly - much quicker than the time interval between Vol 2 and Vol 3.
Photographs and detailed biographical notes of each holder - Volume three deals with the Regiment and Division Nordland..
The standard of research and work will no doubt reflect that of the previous two Volumes.

Re: German Cross in Gold Holders Vol. 3.
Just recieved Volume III of this series today - standard of content and production confirm what one would expect of both Mark Yerger's research and Rodger Benders quality of production.
This volume deals with holders from Nordland - the next volume will detail holders from the Totenkopf.
Ther format is similar to that which mark has used to date - a high standard of research using both primary and secondary sources , input from veterans , and the coloboration and help from a number of recognised experts to produce 36 detailed and fully illustrated biographies of those awarded the German Cross in Gold - including their SS service numbers , ranks and awards.
Details are also given on Combat Clasp holders in Gold and Roll of Honour Clasp Holders.
An extremely useful and readable book - Benders production standard is high throughout - quality gloss paper , excellent clarity in terms of photographic reproduction - binding is tight and well done nothing cheap or second rate.
I must have been "on the ball" very early - mine is 21/300 in the limited number of signed editions - a nice extra.
In terms of reference material this series is second to none.
Quick scan of the index.
