Books you like which are about world war two??

I really like the books by Antony Beevor like Berlin and Stalingrad

i would sugest the Illustrated World War II Encyclopedia. it gives you an extremely in-depth view of the war from both sides.

I think it depends on the publisher. :P

no. why?

The publisher can present a material as wants. (Expressing thought the person in the beginning own opinion, at least war in the North Ossetia) Agree? :P

The books of Sven Hassel. Puuuuuure fantasy and fiction even if the author says its all real  ^^
Its about a danish ( Sven Hassel himself) voulenteer to the germans and end upp in a penalty squad. Panzer regiment 27.

( Yes thats an good argument that its all made upp, pfs, arming penalty troops with tanks! ((like Tigers LOL)) )

There he meets all kind of awesome characters like Old man, the little legioneer, Josefh Porta and Tiny ( I think the Shermans voice call one of the crews for tiny? maybe a tribute or something? ;)

i see what you mean. however, in this case he was a Swiss military historian, meaning he has devoted his life to recording stuff without bias. +hes swiss so he really had no invovlement during ww2.
in short, this book is still probably as unbalanced as it gets.

I read a nice little book called "Soldier Boys". The perspectives were from both sides and it showed how each kid was eager to prove themselves but as fighting and hunger dragged on, their visions and sense of right are tested.

There was another book called "Soldier X" about a German soldier who has a Russian mother and spoke both languages. He is forced to join the war and at some point while the SU soldiers are gong around, killing wounded, he dresses as one of them and hides out as a SU soldier. Later he must flee Russia and try to make it to a safe territory. His loyalties are constanly under assualt as he is forcd to fight both sides in a stuggle to survive

Both are good books once you get past the beginning :P

Anything by David Glantz. Definately my favorite author for Eastern Front related stuff.
