Hello
The 2nd Panzer Army took part in the fighting around Orel during the Zitadelle offensive but was transferred to the Balkans soon after the fighting at Kursk had died out. Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance.

Hello

This is in remembrance of the innocent victims of the cowardly attack on defenceless children, women and men in Gujarat in 2002. Warning: Images are graphic.

Fair enough

It's a very good first-hand account of Fallschirm operations - and from a middle-ranking commander; there aren't too many of those. It's not as vivid as say Pöppel (although his account of Crete is pretty brief) or as good as Ringel's Hurra die Gams . It's a decade or so since I read it, but the fa...

Good luck on that. Even the reprint is going for over £35/$60. The original sells regularly for over £100. :shock: It is a very good book, but it ain't worth that. :[] Hi Richard.

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.

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.

I'm wondering - did post-war manufacture of grenades in the U.S military reflect any improvement over the M36 as far as incision lines etc.?

I also remember reading that Allied soldiers did not fear the German stick-grenades as much as the Landsers feared the M36.

Good divisional history there Annelie. Right now I'm on "A History of Blitzkrieg" by Bryan Perrett.

Disappointing. When I saw the title I was hoping to see a shot of Tom clubbing some gang-banger senseless before handcuffing him
Hopefully next time.
