My stepdad just wrote this book and had it published and sold on Amazon. I'm very proud of him and I'd like to support him by getting honest, thoughtful reviews on Amazon.
I'd be willing to send a $5 gift card to anyone that PMs me a photo of the book in your hand and a link to your review on Amazon.
Here's the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1684099757
Any questions or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
Great Read: https://www.amazon.com/Time-Trumpets-Untold-Story-Battle/dp/0688151574
and watch/ read
Band of Brothers TV series...
Short answer: given the overwhelming superiority in supplies and ammo/ fuel... doesn't really matter if you can't move it/ store it/ bring it to where it is needed most...
Old adage: Glory Hounds proclaim the weapon as ruler of the battle field... Smart/ old Generals know that it is Logistics which wins battles and wars...
The 101 st/ and 82 AB were Theater Reserve for Eisenhower... and had just gotten the shiat kicked out of them at Bridge too Far Battle... men, arms, radios... clothes and new boots... all in short supply/ need... they were is a Tent Camp... absorbing new replacements, training, resting... new promotions and new people... it was still a nice fall in Sept/ Oct/ Nov 1944... just wait till winter comes... Ouch.
Watch too "The Battle of the Bulge" old 1960's movie... shows how the men were bunkered down in old towns/ bunkers... enjoying the off sector... Hey, don't bother me mentality! We will wait out the winter, and invade Germany in the Spring!!!
And watch another good one: "Battleground" with Ricardo Montelban... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041163/
Again, shows how the men were hastily thrown into trucks... and driven up to Bastogne to plug the lines... ( and Mr. Roarke too!)...
And read about the "Red Ball Express" where supplies were transported up from Normandy to the front lines!!!
and finally:
Read about the conflict between the Supply Headquarters/ Supply troops in Paris... and the front lines in Summer/ Fall/ Winter of 1944... all the best cigarettes, winter boots, over coats... every swinging Richard had a nice warm coat in Paris... and then, all the left overs got moved up to the front lines... (Well, it was a common sentiment among the front line troops). Patton was said to have made the comment, if he had all the gas and all the jeeps which were tooling around Paris... he could move another division into Germany!!!
This book might be interesting. "Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America" by Annie Jacobsen - http://amzn.to/2jOmSnT
It only covers Germany, but it is interesting and is well researched and written. Hope this helps.
I'm currently reading Operation Paperclip. Its really interesting so far. It focuses more on after the war but still very interesting.
Unbroken is very good too if you treat it as a story and not a history book.
"Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer is a pretty good read. It's not specifically about the eastern front, but it gives you a very good perspective about what life was like for a Wehrmacht solder.
A couple that I've read from Antony Beevor:
Stalingrad, and its follow up book The Fall of Berlin 1945. Beevor has also written books on the Ardennes, D-Day, and an all encompassing book on WWII. I have yet to read those but can attest that his two Eastern Front focused books are fantastic
I would also highly recommend The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad by Harrison Salisbury. Absolutely haunting stuff.
Thanks for posting!
For those interested, read the book Ghost Soldiers which covers the internment and eventual raid & rescue of these POWs.
I got it, but I’m reading the book in the link.wings of the Rising Sun and it is FABULOUS. Printed on GLOSSY paper...tons of photos.
No luck from me on British tanks either.
Enjoy, great read. After this I would suggest Soldat. https://www.amazon.ca/Soldat-Reflections-German-Soldier-1936-1949/dp/0440215269
Rock Atkinson's trilogy is extremely well done. If you are just looking for D-Day onwards, then you can skip right to book three: "The Guns at Last Light" which covers 1944-45 in Europe: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1250037816/ref=pd_aw_fbt_14_img_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YRWT5FWJBCRXSYME4TNH
If you have time, all three books are very good.
https://www.amazon.com/Day-June-Climactic-Battle-World/dp/068480137X
I always felt Stephen Ambrose did great work on his books.
Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner is a great book about life on a U-boat.
Interesting!
You might also find interesting the book "Thank God for The Atom Bomb" by Paul Fussell. It's a collection of essays but the primary essay is about veterans' attitudes toward the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Have you watched The Pacific?. They had a marathon on yesterday for 12/7 and it was awesome. I've watched it before, but it gets better every time. It's based on 3 individuals and follows them throughout the war. It is only 10 episodes so you should be able to get through it rather quickly. I also recommend the book With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge (one of the marines featured in The Pacific).
"After Tunisia, [6th Armoured Division] participated in the Italian Campaign as part of the British Eighth Army and ended the war in Austria," there you go! source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6th_Armoured_Division_(United_Kingdom)
It was hard fighting in Italy, the terrain was perfect for a long, protracted defensive war that the Germans utilised to great effect. If you'd like to know more, I recommend this book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mailed-Fist-Armoured-Division-1940-1945/dp/0750935154/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549378765&sr=8-1&keywords=mailed+fist+6th+armoured+division
