This isn't clear in a lot of the descriptions but some of this new series do make it more apparent.

The Red Army Towards the Oder Then and Now

contains:



Battles for the Channel Ports Le Havre and Boulogne Then and Now

contains:

That is a disappointment since I have all issues of the after battle magazines, going through these titles, I find at least the following are not old articles from the magazines


The Siegfried Line: Then and Now
The Battle of Stalingrad: Then and Now
Operation 'Dragoon' and Beyond: Then and Now

Thanks for the additional info, mars and Orwell1984 -- very useful to know!

I also have all the AtB magazines, so I'll pass on the Oder title, but I'll be getting the Stalingrad one.

FYI, Blackwell's (blackwells.co.uk) is currently offering it at a great pre-publication price.

Not so sure about the Stalingrad one as it's edited and on Amazon the description contains the following:

This book brings together three After the Battle stories devoted to that historic struggle.

which leads me to believe three articles are being combined.
The Siegfried line one says it is edited by Daniel Taylor, not written by. Again this makes me think articles being pulled together.
That leaves Dragoon and, IIRC, Pallud did articles on that.


The Siege of Leningrad: Then and Now (Then & Now)due Oct 2023 says:

This book is from an article in issue 123 of After the Battle magazine, the joint authors were Karel Margry and Ron Hogg.

Nordhausen Concentration Camp: Then and Now (Then & Now) due Oct 2023 too states:

The book contains the following two stories from ATB magazine:

Issue 101: Nordhausen
Author: Karel Margry, 118 black and white photos.

Issue 111: The Gardelegen Massacre
Author: Karel Margry, 78 black and white photos.

so I think it's safe to conclude that all of these new releases will be repackaged articles.
