Hey Howard, Sad to say but Canada's History television doesn't show as the same as English History Television! But thanks for the advice! I managed to track down the production company for the documentary and e-mailed them to see if they could sell me a region free DVD. Haven't heard back from them ...

Croat, I hear you, I wish everyday that those Liberals get crushed in the next election. I just have a gut feeling that Ontario will vote Liberal again and the best we can hope for is a minority gov't for Martin! I've been doing some volunteer work out here for the Conserative Party, but I wish I co...

Hey Croat, Nice to run into another canuck. I'm Albertan (up north), but moved to Langley B.C. since my girlfriend is from out there and she couldn't handle the -30 degree winters back home in Alberta! Were the mistakes in the Croat section that major? I'd kinda like an idea on where the mistakes ar...

Favourite Foreign Volunteer Books
Hey Everybody, Just thought that I'd start a discussion on people's favourite books on foreign volunteers in the German Heer and Waffen SS. At the moment I am re-reading David Littlejohn's "Foreign Legions of The Third Reich" series. Excellent pictures, excellent info, but have noticed a f...

Thanks Paul, As far as I known I believe you are right on the use of pseudonyms in Seth's book. I've read that Seth also created a fictional account of an Englishman destroying a tank in the ruins of Berlin. I think I'll still get the book though, and you should really consider getting Weale's book....
