Books: Germans at 3rd Ypres (Polygon Wood)

Recommended Posts

I am interested in the Germans at the Battle of Polygon Wood, 3rd Ypres. I have Jack Sheldon's The German Army at Passchendaele, and Peter Liddle's Passchendaele in Perspective. Are there any other books, in English, relating to the German forces at Polygon Wood/Third Ypres that I have missed?

 

Thanks, William

I have written a bit about it in my book "Halfweg Menin Road en Ypernstrasse. Gheluvelt 1914-1918" (at least about the southern part of the wood as that is closest to Geluveld). Unfortunately for you, it is only in Dutch.

Alas, I know even less Dutch than German. :)

 

It is the German units opposite the British Fifth Army at Zonnebeke 26-28 September 1917 that I am particularly interested in (rather than those opposite Plumer's Second Army, many of them Australians, at Polygon Wood itself).

I have started reading Jack Sheldon's book, and it is very good indeed. But I would still be interested to hear from anyone who has thoughts on other books relevant to the Germans at 3rd Ypres/Polygon Wood that might help me.

 

Many thanks, William
