Is this curiosity due to COD 5?
Hell yes i have. Plenty of them as a matter of fact, but they're in my garage right now. I'll send you the info tomorrow. I also have plenty on the Vietnam and Gulf as well. But WW2 is the best imo.
I have family that served in each of these. I'll get it to you man.
All Quiet on the Western Front
Erich Maria Remarque translation by Arthur Wesley Wheen
Got quite a few on Vietnam and the secret war in Laos,,,,,,,,,,,That help![]()
There is so much to WW2 that asking for a book is very broad.
I love ww2 but not so much with the politics of it.. Sure I know a good amount of information on that subject but I enjoy the actual battles much more..
I have read books on bombers (17's and 25's) infantry units, and my favorite Submarines..
I know its not WW2 but this is a great read 'The Ravens. by Christopher Robbins, brave but un-known men fighting the secret war in Laos
Flyboys by James Bradley.
One of my favorite war stories is Guns Up! by Johnnie Clark, but that's Nam.
Bedford Boys by Alex Kershaw and The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan are both about D-Day; Flags of Our Father's by James Bradley is about Iwo Jima. Stephen Ambrose wrote a couple including the Band of Brothers.
I had no idea that was a book! Now I must have!
World War II stories?
For authentic recounting of tales of patriotic bravery, nothing beats Hogans Heros:

i am a WWII buff, i collect era weapons and equipment. i like to read the foot soldiers perspective about war. i recommend: "the forgotten soldier" by guy sajer......a german infantryman. and also..."a mind in prison": the memoir of a son and soldier of the third reich. remember now....they were just FOLLOWING ORDERS.
