Thought I would post this to the History Forum as well. I'm sure some of you guys will like these books if you haven't read them already!
I will be giving away 6 books. I will pick 3 winners and send 2 books to each. There are no fees or catches other than the winners would like to add these to their reference library.
The titles are;
Panzer Leader by Heinz Guderian - This is the classic story of German armor in WWII. Full of maps.
Brazen Chariots by Major Robert Crisp - Awesome narrative about tank warfare against the Afrika Korps. A must read.
Full Circle by J.E. Johnson - This is the history of air fighting by the legendary Johnnie Johnson.
Enemy at the Gates by William Craig - The battle for Stalingrad is told in one of the best books about the fighting in the East during WWII. Several pages of photos.
Invasion They're Coming! by Paul Carell - The German story of D-Day and beyond. Carell writes about the German side better than anyone. With maps.
With Rommel in the Desert by H.W. Schmidt - Written by one of Rommel's aides. Includes some nice photos of Rommel.
Please resopnd to this message if you would like to be entered.
I will randomly draw the winners. First drawn will get first pick of what book they want, second winner will get second pick, third winner will get third pick. I would like each winner to get a book they want.
Please note, these are paperbacks and not hardcover books. They are well loved, but in good condition and complete. Each is a favorite of mine and books I consider must reads.
Good luck and happy holidays!

OK, times up.
Will post the winners in a few minutes.
Have taken all the names, printed them, and will draw them from a cap. Actually, I will allow someone else to do the drawing honors! (No work tomorrow!)
Will pick 3 winners and 2 alternates if there is a problem. Will list the winners in order in a new thread.
