Hello ! I've seen your library, how did you do that ? You have listed 402 titles. Do I need to open an account to be a member ?
There's a limit on how many titles you can post without paying for a membership. I forget the exact number, but it's around 200, IIRC.

Supposing thru ATM or Money Order ? Would that be the case ?

I paid with a debt card, didn't explore other options. The site has that info, I do believe.

Recently finished The Third Reich at War by Richard Evans, as well as Bloodlands, Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, by Timothy Synder.
Now I'm reading Das Afrika Korps: Erwin Rommel and The Germans in Africa, 1941-1943, Franz Kurowski, and The German Aces Speak (2011), Colin D. Heaton.
The first two are simply outstanding books. In fact, the entire series by Evans is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the Third Reich.

"At Dawn We Slept" by Prange, Dillon and Goldstein, reads like an encyclopaedia because there's so much information;
"Miracle at Midway" by Prange, Dillon and Goldstein, not as good but worth a look;
"Samurai" By Saburo Sakai, first hand account by an elite Japanese fighter pilot;
"Midway" by Mitsuo Fuchida and Masatake Okumiya, the Japanese version of events by one of their greatest commanders;
"The Broken Seal" by Ladislas Farago, a well researched account of Operation Magic;
"Blue Skies and Blood" by E.P. Hoyt, slightly dated version of the Battle of the Coral Sea but worth reading. Still holds up.

Hello,

I just received Wiking: December 1940 - April 1942 vol 1 Charles Trang.
The same quality as his previous books on the Leibstandarte and Totenkopf. Hundreds of original pictures and text (in French), making it the best book to my knowledge about the Wiking Division.
Warmly recommended !

Patrick

I am currently reading Moscow 1941 by Rodric Braithwaite - Profile Books, London 2007. I am up to Chapter 7, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I have been especially impressed by the level of detail and personal memories of Moscow residents that Braithwaite has included in the book.
