Good books!

I just finished reading Colonial Hans Von Luck's book for the 4th time, and Guderians for the 3rd.

Fantastic books, the best first hand accounts of the German Wehrmacht, and Panzer divisions that I have read. I would have given anything to be able to have lunch with either, Von Luck was a fantastic story teller. Luck was also a Mercedes enthusiast. He enjoyed the finner things in life and was pretty angry when the French "liberated" his liquor stock...that he purchased.



All I can say is its a shame that such a fantastic army had such a piss poor leader, Hitler ruined that army in Russia. Guderian's insight on the man after having worked with him for awhile was very interesting, though not surprising.

Anyway...
