Terrible Victory by Mark Zuehlke
This book details the fighting in the Scheldt Estuary between Canadian II Corps and units of the German 15th Army. One of the bloodiest and least mentioned campaigns of the war IMO.

The Trail Of The Fox by David Irving. An outstanding biography of Rommel which reads like a great novel. I cannot recommend it enough.

The Blitzkrieg Legend by Karl-Heinz Frieser. Don't know if this book has already been discussed on this forum, but I recommended it warmly.

I've nearly finished reading "Biess, Frank. 2006. Homecomings: Returning POWs and the Legacies of Defeat in Postwar Germany USA: Princeton University Press". Can't say I recommend it or not.

No End Save Victory
This is a series of essays on the Second World War by prominent historians such as William Manchester, Stephen Ambrose, John Keegan, David Glantz, and many others covering diverse aspects of the war. Rather interesting.

Currently reading: "For Free India - Indian Soldiers in Germany and Italy During the Second World War". By Martin Bamber and edited by Aad Neevan. A very well researched book with good photographic material. I highly recommend it.
Also received and wasted my time reading "The SS - A New History" by Adrian Weale. I threw that in the rubbish-bin.

En av Oss: Norske frontkjempere i krig og fred by Vegard Sæther.
Another book about the Norwegian volunteers who served in various units of the Waffen-SS (Wiking, div Nordland, Den Norske Legion, etc), it has a heavy focus on first hand accounts by veterans. Recommended if you happen to speak the language.

The mammoth history of 16 (mot) Infanterie Division (Windhund division). Head and shoulders above any Heer unit history.
