Doug, Have you ever determined what happened to Verhoeven's "The Forgotton Soldier" project? I see that Verhoeven's documentary "The Unknown Soldier" is now available on DVD. Do you know whether or not this was in fact the project you were referring to back in 2002? Best, Lexxx

After learning of the Commando Anthology, I also found the War Picture Library and Battle Picture Library Anthologies as well. There are 6 anthologies total. Commando: The Dirty Dozen Commando: All Guns Blazing Commando: True Brit Commando: Anzacs at War Battle Picture Library: Death or Glory War Pi...

Leningrad Under Siege by Adamovich & Granin Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man by Montefiore Hill 112: Cornerstone of the Normandy Campaign by How and some of you are going to laugh (or cry) at this last one, but I couldn't resist when I accidently came across the anthology on Amazon: Commando: The ...

That would be it! Thanks!

Can anyone post the rather famous picture of Russian general Lyudnikov in his command post at Stalingrad? I cannot find it anywhere.

No list can be complete without: The Tortured Earth (a.k.a. The Stalin Front) by Gert Ledig - easily one of the best war novels ever written. Siege by Russ Schneider is also at or very near the top of the list. Payback, also by Gert Ledig, about one night in a unnamed German city during a U.S. bombe...

Island of Fire by Jason Mark.

Amazing research, never before seen photographs, loads of maps and charts . . . what more could you want?

I have the Operation Blue and Battle of Stalingrad atlases. They are basically reduced size photocopies of the much larger originals. Some of the geographical names are difficult to read and some of the unit designations are hard to see because the copies are black and white. As are as the informati...

Your timing is perfect -- I had the honor of touring the Barrikady factory today, 24 August 2007, with Jason Mark as the historical guide. Almost all of the major strongpoints mentioned in Island of Fire are still there. Needless to say, Jason knows the Barrikady like the back of his hand and can de...

Halder - it's true I tell you, it's true . .. you can check Amazon or Ebay. The 1960s paperback version is selling for near $50, while the hardback is going for substantially more.

With used copies of HITLER MOVES EAST by PAUL CARELL selling for $75-100 on Ebay, can anyone tell me why no military publisher has picked up this title for re-print?

Not familiar with that one, but have you tried:

Peters, Klaus, Fallshrimjager Rgt. 3, Vols 1 & 2, Bender (1995).

Don'f forget MARK OF SHAME which takes place in postwar Germany and THE CRUMBLING FORTRESS. But watch out for THE WILLING FLESH which is an alternate title for CROSS OF IRON. RAPE OF HONOR, although Heinrich, is not a war novel. Quite frankly, although CROSS OF IRON gets all the press, I like CRACK ...

I'm with Phylo on this one. Here is what is generally available in English on Crete that I know of: Antill, Peter, Crete 1941:Germany’s Lightning Airborne Assault (Osprey 2005). Nasse, Jean-Yves, Fallshirmjager in Crete, Historie (2002). FALLC Heydte, Baron von der, Daedalus Returned: Crete 1941, Hu...

I couldn't agree more.

I truly believe that my life's passions, interests, and hobbies would be very different but for those Wotan novels I devoured between the ages of 12-16.
