Re: New book on the DAK

Thanks Kevin. You are true, the 15. Panzer-division is not "well-covered" by books, especially comparing with 21. Panzer-division. I used to work also on the 15. Kradschutzen-Btl but let this project for others... I am impatient to read your work and will give you my comments and opinions ...

Even his enlistement into Panzer-grenadier regiment GD is sometimes contested, as he was french, not german. Some people had made researches on GD's rolls and find n...

Re: "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer

You must know that in France, Guy Sajer's book is taken not to a real historical book but more to a vivid and unexact testimony, with magnifical description.
