went to borders today and picked up some new books, got Das Reich: story of the 2nd ss division
and Soldat: reflections of a german soldier 1936-1949

That is really nice, the titles alone sound interesting, maybe a review?

Enjoy Shain.

I bought the Osprey Men-at-arms No. 368: The British Army 1939-1945: Pt. 2 North Africa and Italy and the Osprey Men-at-arms No. 336: The German Army, 1939-45: Volume 5 Western Front, 1944-45. They were delivered to my office on Wednesday, so I'll collect them tonight when we have our "Oktoberfest" evening :-)
I've also ordered the Osprey New Vanguard 98: British Anti-Tank Artillery 1939-45. Should be delivered in about 3 weeks. Can't wait!! Not being an Artillery or Armour person this book is critical to a successfull build for Tank-Terror.

I have plans on buying

- Stalingrad by Antony Beevor
And/or
- Bismarck by Michael Tamelander

Nowadays I usually only have time to read when I`m in the train going home from the office where I work.
My birthday present I got from the company where I work was D-day by Steven Ambrose. Quite a big book 600 Pages of D-day.
Before that I finished Road to Arnhem by Donald Burgett. Great books from him too. I have read beyond the rhine from him too and he tells the story very well A recommendation to everyone. Next book on the list will be another book I got as gift for my Birthday. It has the Title: Den Vaderland Getrouwe ("Loyal to the Fatherland") A dutch book about the Dutch Resistance during WW2

Hwa Rang I havw anthony Beevors Stalingrad and Berlin,must admit I wasnt over impressed,Stalingrad is mainly tatics with a few common soldier observations, Berlin is nearly all about how many german women were raped and killed and what the russians didnt do to stop it.I found them both dissapointing.But thats my opinion.Im going for Armageddon by Max Hastings.

i just bought the Osprey new vanguard book on the Matilda.definitely worth the money for all you Matilda fans out there .one of the more interesting photos in it is the upgunned Matilda with the Cromwell turret and the 6 pounder gun..

Jesper- i actually saw Stalingrad there and was this close to purchasing it, but i chose Das Reich because i've always wanted to get more indulged in the subject. and chose Soldat, because my favorite types of books are Military Memoirs

Hi John and Shain

Thanks for the tip. It's always good to hear other peoples opinion on books. These books Don't come cheap. Stalingrad is 40£ in Denmark
