What is everyone reading on WW2?

[Resayttan]

Their Honor Was Loyalty (Jost W. Schneider). A very good book and it took me a while to track it down. Book has short bios of each man, giving you an overview of them and the actions which earned them the award..

[Resayttan]

I finished Iron Coffins, a fantastic and educational look at the virtual suicide missions of the post 1943 U-Boat service. It amazes me that this author survived the war. Incredible.

Now, am starting The Fall Of Crete by Alan Clark.

The Fall Of Crete by Alan Clark - great book!

William Manchester: The Arms of Krupp - The Rise and Fall of the Industrial Dynasty that Armed Germany at War

[Attrition]

The History of the British 'U' Class Submarine (2004) by Derek Walters. A little thin on the technical details of the boats, no maps and a little too much on anecdote but a serviceable volume.

[Hans1906]

An elderly lady in the local neighborhood kindly lets me read her books on a regular basis.
Antiquarian and modern books, a nice touch, a few days ago she gifted me this book:

Thomas Buergenthal / Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Buergenthal
Holocaust Enzyclopedia https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/ ... uergenthal (Plus supplementary links)
Fritz Bauer Blog https://www.fritz-bauer-forum.de/ein-glueckskind/ (Video Interview with Thomas Buergenthal)
(You can find the video in higher volume on YouTube)

The book from the second edition of 2007 is in mint condition, unfortunately I was not aware of it before.
I'm happy about this little gift, I'll read it in time...

Wishing you all a good week!

Out Of The Blue
By Terence O'Brien

This book is unique in it's subject, that of flying with the Chibdits over Burma. O'Brien was an Australian who had completed a tour in Coastal Command before volunteering for 'Special Servces' in Burma in 1943. Special servcies meant that he flew a range of aircraft including the Blenheim, DC.3, Beechcraft, Domine, Walrus and Mosquito with the air support arm of the Chindits, supplying Wingate's and Stillwell's operations behind Japanese lines.

Extremely good book, one of my favourite in my library.
