Hah me too is a book fan. The last book I've read is some stupid book about a 13 year old being a schizo which we had to read for English class, utterly boring
. Recently I also re-read
Watership Down, it's just a beautiful story. And for history books... prepare for impact!
I recently finished reading a book about Operation Amherst, French SAS paradrop attacks in my province, and that was really interesting. The book itself is called
Operation Amherst, French Paratroopers fought in Drenthe, April 1945. Drenthe is a province. The book itself is in Dutch but it was originally in French so maybe something for our French members. The French author: Roger Flamand.
Then at the beginning of this year I got
Beyond Band of Brothers, by Dick Winters, from my parents as a gift and I must say, the memoires of Winters are interesting.
For 5 euros I saw this biography about Rommel so I bought it and it's also very interesting. Looking at the writers name it's originally in English so the original title is
Rommel and it's whriten by Roger Sibley and Michael Fry.
I also got 2 books from François Bertin. One about Allied vehicles and one about the invasion of Normandy and what equipment was used, the last one is very informative for the current subjects on these forums.
And this friday I ordered an entire series of fictional books about what happened when a US fleet of hypermodern equipment in 2012 ended up right in front of the US fleet in 1941 going for the Pacific. I like the 'what if' stories so for 8 euros a book I ordered all 3.
For future plans I'm looking for a book about bayonets but the one I found at my favourite webshop was out of stock. If anyone got some good suggestions about WW2 books, bring them! Books in English or Dutch, please
