Buddha, those are great books, I have them too. I just got yesterday a good buy, "History of the Second World War" by B. H. Liddell Hart for only $10. If you want to really immerse yourself into the tank battles, the books by Sven Hassel and Guy Sajer give you a frontline account, that is slightly "novelized." It takes a pretty strong stomach to handle the language and situations, especially Sven Hassel's accounts of the 27th Panzer (Penal) antics. -- K
