Disappointed by Muñoz's "Göring's Grendadiers"
I purchased Antonio Muñoz's Görings Grenadiers: The Luftwaffe Field Divisions 1942-1945 for more info on the 16. Luftwaffe Felddivsion. Almost immediately after starting to read the relevant chapter I ran across many significant and easily-checked errors. Also of concern is his dependence on dubious sources for this Chapter (Mitcham's The Desert Fox in Normandy and Nafziger's The German Order of Battle). Muñoz's interest appears to be focused mainly on units that fought on the E. front but in my opinion if you can't much information in dependable sources then leave it at that - don't pad it with garbage from questionable sources. The other chapters may be very good - I don't know and don't really care since I am not interested in any of the other Luftwaffe Felddivisions.
