I thought it would be cool to have a thread featuring our WW2 book collections. I didn't know where to put this, so I flagged it under general discussion. Here are some of my books:  They are (L to R): Top Row - Time Life: The Nazis
- Time Life: Blitzkrieg
- An Illustrated History of the Nazis
- The Victory in Europe Experience
Middle Row - Witness: Magnum Photographs from the front lines of World War II (Bought from the Ste Mere Eglise Museum)
- Uniformes et Coiffes du Troisieme Reich (In French, bought from the Ste Mere Eglise Museum)
- Normandy 44 D-Day and the Battle of Normandy (Bought from the Ste Mere Eglise Museum)
- Blitzkrieg 1939-41
Bottom Row - USMC Uniforms & Equipment 1941-45
- Deutsche Soldaten
- Hitler's Army (AMAZING BOOK)
- World War II GI: US Army Uniforms 1941-45 in Color Photographs
- Images of War: The Artist's Vision of World War II (being an artist, this is a standout in my collection. Contains art made by front-line soldiers, and those at the home front.

Actually this is a great post and got me thinking. We often review guns and gear but rarely one of the most important parts of our hobby... Books! Maybe I'll start a book review section.

Hey kalbs (I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to call you), thanks! Yes, it would be a great idea. I'm a contributing writer for Fully Booked magazine, and I usually review books on--surprise, surprise--warfare. In fact, the latest one I did became the cover story: John D Lukacs' "Escape from Davao" - a dramatic retelling of the only successful escape from a Japanese POW camp in the Pacific theater. If you do decide to start a section, please do move this thread. And as a starter, I'll get it moving by reviewing "Hitler's Army", which is arguably one of the best books on the German army that I've ever read. |

I've read Hitler's Army too. That's the one from the editors of Command Magazine, right?
