WilliamRev Posted 7 March , 2017 Share Posted 7 March , 2017 (edited) 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 Edited 7 March , 2017 by WilliamRev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOK4 Posted 8 March , 2017 Share Posted 8 March , 2017 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.

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).

Thanks, William 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Filsell Posted 18 March , 2017 Share Posted 18 March , 2017 Nothing in any of the 120 or so German works I have have got which have been translated into English I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamRev Posted 19 March , 2017 Author Share Posted 19 March , 2017 Thanks David. Looks as though I have all the relevant books. William Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
