For us Bookworms, this is the thread to discuss what it is we're currently reading, favorite books worth checking out, and books we're looking at, anything else book related.
I'll begin:
This is the book I am currently reading. Panzer Commander - The Memoirs of Hans Von Luck, who was a an officer in an armored warfare division during World War 2.
This book I would recommend specifically for history buffs. It get a little technical at points and it's written by a military man's point of view in historical context, so those not able to tell the difference between a half track and a panther may be a little lost.
Other than that, it does give an excellent insight into "the other side" of the story. He is a member of Hitler's army and sheds some light into what was actually going on both in the country itself and the army during this time period. It's actually not full of propaganda and I do not condone nazi-ism in any form, however I am very adamant about folks learning their history.
The man himself led an amazing military career, He was a part of the Blitz which initially took all of Europe, he was at D-day, served under Rommel in the AfrikaCorp, was at the Eastern front, and ended up as a Russian prisoner. He is well educated and writes in a very clear manner, I'm not done but so far I've gotten far more interested in this book than I initially was when I saw it at the used book store.
