Another Home Run for this Author!!!!
Doug Nash hits another home run for military history in this well-researched and easy to read study of a lesser known topic from WW2. Buy this book and support real scholarship on the war, it's not just another coffee table rehash.

A very excellent personal WWII story
5 Stars First, this book is published by Aberjona Press. I will be totally honest with you. I've never read a bad WWII book published by this business. I highly encourage amazon.com readers to read other books published by this firm. WWII is their bread and butter in the publishing business. So, I had high hopes for this book and it delivers. The Good Soldier" is about memoirs of ...

Outstanding Photo History
Rare is the book that provides pictures that are actually related to the text provided. Even rarer still are pictures that capture in sequence the entire event. Such is the case with this volume. From start to finish the reader is presented with a sequence of photographs that literally document aspects of the complete campaign for Kharkov in the winter of 1943. The pictures are also notable ...

Robert Forbes

Helion and Company Ltd., 2006

Outstanding work...
Undoubtedly, Robert Forbes has written with "For Europe : ..." the most precise, objective, accurate (to that date) and exciting account about the french serving in the Waffen SS between 1943 and 1945 and notably in the 33rd Grenadier Division of the SS "Charlemagne". Forbes details the different backgrounds of the frenchmen (from working class to aristocracy!) who opted for a military ...

Grenadiers: The Story Of Waffen SS General Kurt 'Panzer' Meyer (Stackpole Military History)

Kurt Meyer

Stackpole Books, 2005

Incredibly compelling, if not entirely believable, memoir from Waffen SS general
This Stackpole reprint/translation of Waffen SS General Kurt Meyer's memoirs can only be classified as incredible. Any serious student of WWII cannot be considered well read without having gone through this book. As some of the less favorable reviews state, Meyer gives a rose-colored view of his service, but if you accept up front the limitations of this work, it is otherwise an incredible ...

The 32nd SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division "30.Januar"
Rolf Michaelis

Schiffer Pub Ltd, 2008

The SS Division "30. Januar" was one of the last SS-Divisions formed during World War II and was almost entirely composed of training units and 16-18 year old boys (the honorary name "30. Januar" was the same date Hitler became Reich chancellor in 1933). First planned as a motorized division, the unit ended up as a normal infantry division because of a lack of fuel. With a final strength of 12,000, they fought on the Oder-front south of ...

Jonathan Trigg

The History Press, 2008

By the end of World War II there were soldiers of more than 30 nationalities fighting in the 38 combat division of the Waffen SS; Reich Germans were in the minority. How did a regime founded upon notions of its own racial superiority come to welcome hundreds of thousands of foreigners into its military elite?and what motivated these men? Following the sell-out success of his first volume in this series, Hitler's Gauls , the author examines in ...

To fill the ranks Division "Nordland" also took over battalion strength units from Danmark and Norway, though ninety percent of the division were Volksdeutsche from Romania. They were first used incombat in Croatia, the Oranienbaumer, Estonia, and Latvia. After ...

Laurence Spring

Osprey Publishing, 2002

Poor illustrations hurt otherwise decent entry in series
While the author Laurence Spring has done a respectible job portraying what it was like to be a common soldier in the Czar's army during the Napoleonic period the illustrator Younghusband has seen fit to pull down the volume with uninteresting, completely generic illustrations that more properly belong in an edition of the men at arms series. The author acknowleges the fact that only a few ...

A detailed recollection of the DF Regiment
This book provides a detailed recollection of the Der Fuhrer Regiment's actions during and after the war from several of the units senior officers.

Napoleon's Foot Grenadiers
This very aged Osprey title examines the history, movements, and uniforms of the Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard over the entire duration of Napoleon's campaigns. The text is well-written and informative. My only reason for giving this title 4-stars is that the color plates, by Osprey standards, are not very impressive. Do not misunderstand me, they are not terrible; they are just ...

Stackpole Books, 2007

Essential for any World War II reader.
This book provides an good, albeit brief, summary of the formation, history, and for most divisions their eventual demise. The description also includes the smaller units that composed the divisions and their commanders. The only complaint I have with the book, is that several of the pictures in the book are mislabeled. However, the pictures are not part of the Mitchum's actual writing and ...

Mini Menon

Grenadier Productions & Publications, 2008

Insightful stories from everyday life
Being an Indian myself, I'm tired of reading books that package India's 'exoticism' to the West. Mini Menon's collection of short stories "Whispers at Twilight" do not revolve around the "Indianness" of the characters. India is always in the background, but the characters and their emotions are simply human. In the normal course of our lives, we experience many things, some remarkable and some ...
