is Clay Blairs 2 volume set on Hitlers U-Boat War !
They are an excellent read, with a load of details, and very informative !.
Well worth buying , if you like naval history
Welcome aboard Toni. Toni is an old friend of mine who I have finally persuaded to join the forum.
I’ll let him tell you about himself, but he is another welcome Polish addition.
Enjoy the forum matey.
I thought it was an excellent book also - and the brst bit being that it was a neutral view until Dec 7 1941 also !.
Finished the book. Interesting role of the French Expeditionary Force in breaking the Gustav Line.
My favorites:
Der Nürnberger Prozeß (The Nuremberg Trial) by Joe J. Heydecker + Johannes Leeb
Die Frauen der Nazis I+II (The women of the Nazis I+II) by Anna Maria Siegmund
Denn Du trägst meinen Namen. Das schwere Erbe der prominenten Nazi-Kinder. (My Father’s Keeper: Children of Nazi Leaders-An Intimate History of Damage and Denial) by Norbert Lebert + Stephan Lebert
Bis zur letzten Stunde (Until the Final Hour: Hitler’s Last Secretary) by Traudl Junge + Melissa Müller
G’day,
I’ve already mentioned JV44 Galland’s Circus on it’s own thread. I guess my all time favourite is The Blond Knight Of Germany by Raymond F Toliver and Trevor J Constable. A fascinating story about Eric Hartmann.
The First And The Last by Adolf Galland.
Dresden by Frederick Taylor, a very well written book which dispells many of the myths about the Dresden raid.
Business In Great Waters-The U-Boat Wars 1916-1945.
Regards to all,
Digger.
There is Soldier Boys
It is about a 18 year old American who joins the Airborne. Then their is a 15 year old teenager from the Hitler Youth. Then they fight each other on different fronts.
I’d have to say Man is Wolf to Man. It’s a hefty biography.
A Pole is recruited into the Soviet Tank Core as a T34 driver. During some battle against the Germans, the T34 breaks down and he is told to wait in it while the rest of the crew finds help. They never came back. Then the NKVD found him “Abandoning the Front” and he is sent to a Goulag in Siberria. Very graphic but VERY gripping
Is there any good books that are like a journal.
thanks for your help though.
I know of some, but are you looking for fiction or non-fiction?
FICTION:
Soldier Boys
Soldier X
In the Eyes of the Emperor
NON FICTION:
The Forgotten Soldier
Man is Wolf to Man
German Boy
That’s all I know of for now, but I’ll probably think of some more as time goes by. I’ll PM you 
Thank you kindly sir,I will look for those books;)

uh oh something went wrong with that post
I like the format of the MEN-at-arms series by Osprey.
My favorite is Auxiliary forces to the Wermacht, the Nº 254 of that serie.
I am going to see if I can rent that book at the nearest library. Hopefully they have it there.
Having a large collection of military memoirs, I have a couple good WW2 memoirs as well.
Blood Red Snow~It’s from a german machine gunner’s perpective of fighting Russia in Stalingrad. Plenty of action, and a good read for a WW2 buff.
Currahee! ~ A great memoir about a 101st Airborne Trooper’s experiance dropping in Normandy.
Any else have any other suggestions?
Burgett’s other books are great as well.
The Road To Arnhem is another good one. Probably one of my favorites from his.
The forgotten soldier by Guy Sajer
