Re: i need info about das reich in normandy
Another good book is on written by James Lucas titled "Das Reich, Military Role of the 2nd SS". This is a whole history but does give a good history at Normandy.

Re: 3 Nazi Bunkers Found on Danish Beach
It's amazing the good condition they are in. Some years ago I got to see the bunkers on Sicily, pretty much just concrete boxes anymore. Makes you wonder how many others are buried and forgotten by time.

Re: How guilty is the entire Wehrmacht of war crimes?

Re: How guilty is the entire Wehrmacht of war crimes?

It contains recent(5years or so) declassified transcripts of conversations by POW German Officers, typically colonel and above. I've gathered that the Wehrmacht was not as innocent as spme have been lead t...

Reichbank
Who can tell me about the Reichsbank? I have a 20 mark note from 1914. Beautiful watermarks and all. Did the bank continue to exist during the 30s?
