An extensive selection of good books.
| Hitler's Panzers East: World War II Reinterpreted ***** In this controversial book the author argues that the decisive moment of World War II was in 1941, when, against the advice of his army commanders, Hitler diverted his armored troops to the Ukraine and away from Moscow. |
| Blood,
Tears and Folly: An Objective Look at World War II
***** Len Deighton details axis and allied accomplishments
and failures early in the war. This is a very well written book.
|
| Panzer Battles ***** F.W. von Mellinthin masterfully explains German armored warfare and tactics throughout the war. The author fought in Poland, France, Yugoslavia, North Africa, Russia, and Northwestern Europe. He analyzes the tactics of the British in North Africa, the Red Army, and the US Army in Northwest Europe. Very readable. |
