the forgotten soldier by Guy Sager, the true story of a child of French/German parentage who was conscripted into the German army and sent to the Russian front, am about to finish this book and its well worth the read. also, i desserted Rommel by Gunther Behneman (sp?) shows why dessertion during wartime isn’t a cowards way out.

I can vouch for Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer also, I finished it a few months back, a great read. Nice to get an accurate account of the german side of the war on the Russian front.

Eye of the Storm by Peter Ratcliffe, an ex-SAS soldier. A serious account of his service plus alot of funny aspects of his career. In my oppinion I think it is one of the only truly believable SAS books about.
