Beevor may not be in the same league as Glantz, but not too many are, and to a certain extent this is an "apples versus oranges" comparison, both authors have their good points and bad, but their style and focus are quite different. I would certainly buy Beevor's new book and be pleased to...

There used to be an excellent website that had histories and patrol reports for much of the US WWII sub fleet, sadly it seems to be gone now. I suppose a lot of time and effort went in to developing these DVD's but $650 seems rather high for something like this. Even professional historians and rese...

Carell is a controversial figure, as are his books, there is no question about that. At any rate, for someone who might be interested there is a paperback copy of "Hitler Moves East" in what appears to be decent condition currently up for auction at ebay with an opening bid of just $1.99, ...

The paperback version can usually be had on ebay for around $10-20, that is if you are patient and persistent, I know some people are trying to sell paperbacks of this title at ebay for way MUCH more, but honestly, they are not that rare, and if you just keep looking you can get one for a reasonable...

Just purchased this title through my book club membership for about $18 USD, I have not read it yet except for a few pages, but it has received generally excellent reviews. If you enjoy first person accounts of small unit type combat actions, then I think you will enjoy this one. I would compare it ...

I Found a great site for anyone who is interested in the operational experiences of the Soviet Red Army in WWII. There is a large collection of exceptionally detailed and informative articles, mainly from "Voyenno-Istoricheskiy Zhurnal" (The Soviet Military History Journal) that can be fou...

I've had some reasonable success with it, not perfect mind you, but not bad.

I recall reading somewhere that these curved barrel machine pistols were wildly inaccurate, and barrel life was extremely short (on the order of 200 rounds or so) due the extreme friction generated. Plus, they were not very popular with the troops and the idea was quickly shelved if I remember corre...

To a certain extent I think Rose was as much a victim of circumstance (wrong place at the wrong time) as she was a Japanese collaborator. As I recall many allied troops actually enjoyed and looked forward to the musical portions of Tokyo Rose's broadcasts, and simply ignored the propaganda aspects. ...

I posted this at another site, but I thought you guys might find it useful too. Enjoy.......... Has anyone ever seen these?? With three volumes covering everything from heavy tanks, tank destroyers, explosive shells, small arms, heavy machine guns, you name it, and chock full of information/specific...

Here's a great one I bet very few of you have heard of, it's called "They Fought For Their Motherland", or "Oni Srazhalis Za Rodinu" in Russian, this is not the kind of thing you will find at your local Blockbuster, but it's available on DVD, filmed in 1975, and recently released...

This story/movie was not written/made to entertain someone, more to educate and to moralize.

Fair enough, but the same can be said of both versions of "Stalingrad" as well as "Cross Of Iron", with regard to the underlying anti-war theme.

I've had this title in my collection for years, and while it's certainly not "crap" and well worth having and watching, it is (as one of the other posters already mentioned) a bit too melodramatic in my opinon. A couple of titles you may want to look at that are more of the combat action g...

1871 wrote: "Where is the German Army context" The phrase "Coalition Of The Willing" applies here I believe. As Gen. Schwarzkopf said, " Going to war without the French is like going hunting without your accordion", meaning that it's simply of no consequence. I think th...

PT Boats, Knights Of The Sea. This is not out yet, but it looks promising. Check out some screenies here:

I've always thought that pt boats would be a great gaming platform, fast and with enough firepower to sink a battleship.
