someone even tried to mailbomb me this morning - escapes me.

So Paddy, that clearly show that intolerance is not the exclusivity of the nazi...

Having had yet another PM from Mr Westemeier, suggesting that I am having "fun", I'd like to assure anyone labouring under that impression that I have nothing personal against Jens Westemeier. Well, it is too bad that Mr Westemeier is suggesting that you are having "fun" as I do...

It is all too easy to judge men like Jochen Peiper from today's perspective, especially when one is a guilt-ridden German. In the author's case, it seems that he admired Peiper at one time, which suggests that he may have flirted with far right politics as a youngster but is now in denial. That asi...

Just watched it and really enjoyed Cate blanchett is really awesome and as enigmatic as possible. overall a decent movie and yes it is a B&W film showing action during summer 45 in Berlin

Thank you for the link paddy I didn't know about this forum and the rewiew is really worth a read. I have not read reynold's book but a friend of mine own it, so I guess I will have to borrow it somedays..

thanks..

Charles Whiting/Leo Kessler (they are the same author)...nothing new and not really full blown bios but fair and readable. I too think there isn't THE bio on Peiper yet...most will gravitate to Agte though... Hum, this is my feeling too you when you said that THE bio on peiper has yet to be written...

So for you guys, wich book would you definitely consider as the most neutral. objectiv book on Peiper from this list ? Peiper Bio by Jens westemier Peiper bio by Agte Kamfgruppe peiper, race to the meuse by david Cooke Devil's adjudant by reynolds Jochen Peiper, battle commander by charles whiting S...

Interesting how much people already "know" without having read it, isn't it Jan Hendrik, Well could you please give your opinion about jen's bio of peiper with as much objectivity as possible ? I can understand Timo and M.H facts as i think both are right in a certain way. In the whole pe...

So, any of you could give an unbiased rewiew of jen's bio of Peiper ? Timo by the way your site looks great ! hope it will have an english version as my german is not good enough. Now what do you think of jen's bio if you have read it and of J. Peiper as a soldier ?

thanks..

Reb,

I have read Panzer legions months ago and thought it was quite good though not pefect. at least much better that Hitler's legion...

Now wich book if any would you consider worth having about the history(even brief) of every panzer divisions ?

Igorn, The only reasonable explanation to your hard feelings is the fact that I am opposing another person who wished Fuhrer Army had won on the east and for whom the Russian victory in May 1945 is like the pain in the neck. With all respect, I must tell you that your last sentence is really a stupi...

Like Gary D, Thank you very much panzeralex for these infos. Now if you could post the same for Rotmistrov's TA that would be great

Hello, There are very few informations available about these 2 opérations made by the 3rd panzerarmee in september 1944 in order to avoid army Group north being isolated from the rest of the german army.. So if some kind souls could provide some expert OOB and narrative for both sides, but especiall...

I'm waiting for the Memorial "Totenkopf" from Heimdal.. Otherwise, currently hesitating with some titles, but I have still make a choice.. here they are: Stopped at stalingrad (hayward) stalingrad to berlin (ziemke) Red storm over the Reich (glantz) In the fire of the eastern front (hendri...

David,

very impressive and thanks very much for these very interesting datas... I knew august 1943 was very costly for the soviet army but I didn't think that much...
