Army Rumour Service (ARRSE)
This fascinating book follows the 144th Regt, RAC (Royal Armoured Corps) from landing, on D-Day +8, through the Normandy campaign, into Belgium/Holland, and ultimately across the Rhine. It does so in part through the memoirs of several who served in the regiment, leaning particularly heavily on the writings of Marcus Cunliffe... All in all, an excellent book. Well worth reading.

A Question Of Scale, Seb Palmer
This book from Pen and Sword not only shows photographic images of the Red Army at war, but also includes a useful text with regard all aspects of it. From recruitment and training, to political teaching, experiences at the front and especially food, the life of a Soviet soldier is thoroughly covered. I have not seen any of the images previously and very few are posed propaganda. With the few that are posed the author points this out and explains why. The text accompanying each photograph often points out details such as medals, weaponry and uniforms that enable the images to be dated. It is interesting reading for anyone that wants to know how individual soldiers saw their service at the front lines during WW2.

The epic battles fought at Stalingrad and Kursk were pivotal events in the war on the Eastern Front. After the catastrophic failure of the German offensives of 1942 and 1943, the Wehrmacht was forced onto the defensive. Never again would it regain the initiative against the seemingly inexhaustible forces of the Red Army. But how did this decisive shift… Read more...
