That's what the blonde girl said!...

Will have to leave the decision for an errata sheet up to my publisher, those are a pain in the backside too, I imagine. But I agree about Ebooks too - I'm no big fan, would much rather sit down with a musty old tome than an IPad or Kindle - but let's face it, we may be the last generation that has ...

Just some minor edits - it's not being marketed as a 2nd edition, just a reprint. When we catch enough errors to justify changing the original proof, then we make the changes. It's not economical to do that whenever an error is found, just too expensive because you have to pay someone to do the word...

I'm sure he would, but he just sent it in to the printers for the 4th reprint - perhaps the next one. I think if you can find Salie's photo of the crossing of the Gniloy Tickich, that would be most interesting. All the copies I have seen have been very bad and if you have a clear one, that would be ...

I know that Salie was in the Nachrichtungs Abteilung - also, the photos came to me directly from Willi Hein and they were the best that RZM could reproduce.
Thanks Charlie!

Perhaps it should viewed as a battle that never should have been fought - Guderian was right. Better to have husbanded & built up the Panzer Division reserves to resist the coming Soviet offensive that everyone knew was inevitable. Even Hitler had his doubts, but once he made a decision, he loat...

I've got a copy given me by a Wiking vetean and it's an excellent reference source. Klapdor was well positioned to observe and record the regiment's history from its inception as the first tank battalion of the Waffen-SS until the bitter end. He was amply assisted by other veterans of the regiment, ...

As well they should! But would an exploding IPad?

Ok - I was first told May but he's now working in some new photos into the text from the Bundesarchiv, so that would explain the extra time needed - better take the extra time in order to maintain the high RZM standards. I know what that's like but it will be well worth the wait (though it's hell on...

Well, it would be if it wasn't for the fact that there hasn't been one yet that shatters the myth that has gone mainstream - let's face it, the readership of Feldgrau and a few others like it is infinitesimally small, compared to the folks who watch history channel, military channel et al and who re...

Well, the book's revelations will certainly be "Explosive" in the American and UK historical communities, since not many of its members speak French or have heard of Jean Lopez. No offense to Mr. Lopez, but unless the book has lots of neat pictures, if the book is in French not many people...

I have to admit I haven't seen that book yet, but I'm admirer of Zetterling and Frankson's work. But what irritates me is that the information that we're talking about here in this thread has been available for quite some time, if only researchers & writers would take the time to look for it. A ...

Yes, it goes into much more detail than Healy's book, which I'm familar with. Unfortunately, I can't divulge this yet for obvious reasons (it's not gone to print yet but will next week) but I was amazed at how much labor Nipe put into his research. Another thing, which is a bonus, is that RZM has th...

Marc, You're absolutely right about that - and as the war became more desperate, the incentive to "fudge" the actual situation increased. Take your example about the fuel situation in Lauban - if the unit had extra fuel on hand and reported it as such, two things could have happened - eith...
