book reviews

[Friedrich Werner]

Anyone read these ones yet... if so your reviews?

(I just order this one)
In the Fire of the Eastern Front: The Experiences of a Dutch Waffen-SS Volunteer, 1941-45
-Hendrick C. Verton

For Europe: The French Volunteers of the Waffen-SS
-Robert Forbes

For the Homeland: The 31st Waffen-SS Volunteer Grenadier Division in World War II
-Rudolf Pencz

[Gerhard Schmidt]

Verton is pretty good and even more worth the money considering Stackpole is picking up the book. That always makes things cheaper.

It is a good source for the struggle of Breslau at the end of the war. The only problem is that he tries to stray into areas beyond his sphere of responsibilities. He discusses the Battle of Britain at some point.

I've been told Forbes' book, although I have not read it, is a pretty good work on Charlemagne. Nonetheless, I regard Tony Le Tissier as a very talented author and would personally buy this book if I picked up a Charlemagne publication:
http://www.amazon.com/SS-Carlemgne-33rd-Waffen-Grenadier-Division/dp/1848842317/ref=sr_1_267?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269175412&sr=1-267

Can't help much with the third one.
Best regards, Schmidt
