Sorry for "having an opinion", I will leave you in peace, so you can play at being "the big historians" & share your wonderful "pools of knowledge" with each other! PS; People once believed the earth was flat, because that was what everyone else said or they were to...

Some interesting replies I must say..so there is no hope for me then Achilles? Sorry I asked a question! When did I question the actual existence of Treblinka (I just said there seemed to be alot of survivors, that was all, from a book that I had read). Being willing & able to seek out different...

A brave man, a hero one might say...a huge contrast to his father, who got what he deserved

One thing that I am very curious about is that quite a few books I have read (maybe from less reliable sources, you might say) seem to imply that every concentration camp in Germany & Poland had gas chambers & cremation ovens when it was my belief that these only existed in the "known d...

They were both brave soldiers, it would be good to hear things from their perspective; I find some of the most interesting books in the genre are the ones written by people who were participants in the war, so have real life experiences of what it was like to fight for one of the most successful &am...

For those of you interested in finding out just how much the German people at home knew and more about how the killings took place, here are a few books worth checking out; What We Knew; Terror, Mass Murder & Everyday Life in Nazi Germany by Eric Johnson & Karl Heinz Reuband (2005 John Murra...

Good stuff TYR, you make a good point

It is like anything that you read; some places you will find ifo that says the WAFFEN SS did this or that massacre & in others, you will find totally different accounts. I find it extremely interesting reading accounts by veterans, who fought in the war; these may just give you an insight into t...

I have also read that the move to gas came through wanting to be "more humane", not to the victims but to the killers! The effects of shooting (especially women & children) at close quarters was having a huge effect on the moral, of the men so another less stressful method was sought. ...

Hans Schmidt also discusses a different version of events, than those more traditionally talked about, in his book SS PANZERGRENADIER.

Hi, an interesting insight into Denazification. I always find it interesting how the Allies who had fought for the duration of the war, to destroy Nazi Germany, then spent the next 50 years fighting the "Cold War" against each other. As you say here, these former German soldiers were expec...

Thanks Mark, I will keep an eye out for it them. I have just purchased your two volumes on Waffen SS commanders as well. Keep up the great work!

Cheers,

Sid, I dont think that is being complacent, just over the top. Looks like the Germans are still suffering from being defeated in 1945, nearly 60 years later.

Great books, both the German Cross Holders in Silver & German Cross Holders in Gold (Volume 1). Am looking forward to picking up a copy of Volume 2 when it comes out,

Cheers from down under in Australia,

Craig.

I didnt find it that way, actually found it interesting. Each to their own I guess
