Hi all,
Looks like I have had a better day than the Outhouse.Among other things I bought 2 very good books for the bargain price of £10.
These are the books.

OOppss.....

We're about to have the obligatory tank comparison thread aren't we?:costumes:

Good buy on your part though. I assume you're a history nut.

Buddha, those are great books, I have them too. I just got yesterday a good buy, "History of the Second World War" by B. H. Liddell Hart for only $10. If you want to really immerse yourself into the tank battles, the books by Sven Hassel and Guy Sajer give you a frontline account, that is slightly "novelized." It takes a pretty strong stomach to handle the language and situations, especially Sven Hassel's accounts of the 27th Panzer (Penal) antics. -- K

Hi Kofschip,
I have read and still have all the Sven Hassel books.Really good books to read.I first read them about 25 years ago.2 other good books to read are 'The Willing Flesh and The Savage Mountain' by Willie Heinrich.

The Willing Flesh was made into the film Cross of Iron.
Sven Hassels book The Legion of Terror was made into a film called The Misfit Brigade.
