Hunt for Books - Operation Doppelkopf

[Ithikial]

As it says in the title. Hunting for books and/or other sources that looks at a blow by blow account of this German panzer offensive in the east prior to the Courland Pocket forming. Specifically if there are any good sources on the exploits of KG Strachwitz up in the north and his ad hoc force of around two brigades at this time that managed to break through to Army Group North, 101st Panzer Brigade and an SS Brigade.

Cheers in advance.

YEah saw that one and it's quoted a bit, sadly I don't speak German.

Have a look at this:

The action you're interested in starts at about 21 min. It is not detailed but might give clues. There is also a long list of references that might be of help. "Between Giants" stands out as perhaps of particular value.

That's the video that reminded me of this one.

@Ithikial this video might provide some context if you are still interested (check its resource links too):
