Favorite German WWII topic authors

#1

Post by Mark C. Yerger » 27 Mar 2002, 11:28

just curious who are liked in the various areas. For myself, among many, I like:

Koehl, Weidinger, Lehmann, Stöber and Messenger for SS
Tessin for Police and Army structure
Nowarra, Smith, Obermaier for Luftwaffe (I'm more technical and personalities there)
Keskinnen (Finland aerial topics with German aircraft)
Lucas (as a narrative author)

Hey Mark !

Personally I enjoy W. Tieke's first person narratives for battle histories.
No particular favorite for Luftwaffe subjects though I suppose Jochen Prien would be high on my list for Jagdgeschwader units. Problem with many of the Luftwaffe materials the content is somewhat old.
Stober has done some fine work on W-SS as well as yourself.....really enhoy what you have accomplished with your DAs Reich works.

Mark,
Have to say I enjoy Wilhelm Tieke's books, Patrick Agte, Lehmann, Weidinger and of course your works!I use the Waffen-SS Commanders volumes all the time!Also very much enjoyed the Knights of Steel Volume 2 and now looking for the first volume.
Keep up the good work.
Michael
