I am reading the memories of Albert Speer right now. I'm on the last hundred pages, so I should be able to give you a review shortly.

I just stumbled across Marauder Man, written by a B-26 Navigator. Interesting...

Y'all make sure you post reviews when you're done!

German Boy. It was about the son of a Luftwaffe flyer. It pretty much covers his journey in getting out of Germany during the close of WW2

I just fininshed "Decision at St. Vith" by Charles Whiting. It was a tattered old copy, but still full of interesting views about who was responsible for the weakness that led to the Battle of the Bulge. Montgomery comes off looking pompous, Bradly is represented as clueless and Ike is a mindless puppet. The 7th Armored gets some good words along with a few heroic elements of the 106th infantry. I think I'll read more Whiting to see if his anti-Ike bias carries through his other works.
