Balkan Nightmare
In this biographical account, Wittmann chronicles the wartime journey of a young Romanian "Waffen-SS" conscript. Wittmann follows his struggle through some of the most ferocious theatres of World War II up to the day of Germany's unconditional surrender, only to find that the young Romanian's Balkan nightmare had only begun. The soldier continues to suffer through a high-security internment camp in Italy and experience further hunger and alienation in the post-war chaos of West Germany. Offering a cultural study of Saxon life during Wold War II as well as a unique view of the conflict through the eyes of a "Waffen-SS" conscript, Wittmann has managed to appeal to the military historian and general reader alike.

Romanian Policy Towards Germany, 1936-40
This new book, based on archival research, contests the assumptions that Romania remained pro-Western in the late 1930s and only joined the Axis as a result of Western negligence and German pressure. Instead, Germany was drawn by Romanian politicians into political and economic cooperation with Bucharest. In the event, this proved Romania's undoing. Let down by her German protector, she was forced to cede territory to the Soviet Union, Hungary and Bulgaria. Subsequently, Romania was allowed into the alliance she sought with Germany.
