I like to read the bibliographies of the soldiers themselves, such as in Williamsons "Loyalty is My Honour."

for the rest I would have to say Otto Skorzeny, although I don't like the way Harry Turtledove portrayed him in his Worldwar series. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a Turtledove fan!

LOL, the ultimate Americanisation of the Waffen-SS: Joe Dietrich!!!

How about Herb Kuhlmann, Gus Knittel and Ernie Barkmann

I like shortening the names, it makes them sound weird and overall un-recognisable.

Don't forget Ted Wish, Hue Meyer, and Theo Eicke.

heh heh, a large percentage of the recent 24 hour posts on this forum are new members, joined on March 18!

It's good to see that, you can understand what the ew members are intrested in, unlike the thousands of members who sign up and don't post... just my 2 cents....

Well, it is very predictable what interests many members (especially young and new) have.... Kursk, Normandie, Tiger and Waffen-SS.
According to some members here WW2 was just Kursk, Normandie and Waffen-SS.

Interesting, most people on other forums think WW2 was just Major Winters, 505/E and their evil SS opponents
