Re: Paul Carell author of 'Hitler Moves East' and 'Scorched Earth'.
Paul Carell's real name is Dr. Paul Schmidt, who during WW2 was chief propaganda officer for the Nazi foreign office. Everything he writes must be taken with a grain or two of salt & must be cross-checked. Otherwise OK.

Try: 'Soviet Military Deception in the Second World War' by David Glantz. It's a facinating study really, of how the Red Army bettered the wehrmacht at it's own game. A welcome tonic to "Paul Carell" and von Mellinthin. Anthing by the man is an excellent cross-reference to the german accounts. Do a search on his name.

Yeah, one exists, I think its at MoJo's site. It's LoRes.

I forgot to add: If you are going to by a system as oppose to assemble one stay away from COMPAC and HP. The techies I know who work on the hardware end of the business tell me they are their biggest group of clients - constantly in need of repair. DELL
is one they recommend, peaple I know who have them like them. I'm going the self assembly route, which i did with my current, now obsolete machine.

I would suggest An ASUS or ABIt MB. This allows one the maximum potential re; upgrading/overclocking. A quality MB allows one to overclock With much greater confidence
that the MB won't generate anomalous errors or burn out. The ABIT MB aloows one to make adjustments via software, whereas the ASUS requires playing with dip switches; the ASUS
however allows one to modify the bus speed - a major plus. Get a socketed board, it's faster. Try to go with DDR Ram - it,s also much faster too, wellworth the $s.Definately go with the highest end graphics card you can get - even if you or yours have to starve for a week. finally get a lot of cooling fan units: for the not only the CPU, but also the sound card chip and the graphics card chip.
they will keep everything cool & therefore healthy.

I think "Men of Steel" might be supplemented with a much older book by the brit Alexander
McKee: "Last Round Against Rommel", Signet, 1966 - the British title is "Caen: Anvil of Victory" copywrite 1964. It covers the Commonweath/German view from D-Day through Falaise; concentrating primarily on the Battles for Caen.THe bulk of the material presented consists of narratives from the participants on both sides - outstanding for Data Mining! It is filled with tactical goodies viz. "Panzer" Meyer's succinct description of how to conduct a night attack, the importance of traffic control & cross country movement, etc. INdeed, as the writer served in many of the units, and the focus of the work is much more about the sharp end of the stick it does much to dispell Reynolds' apparent pro SS tilt. The Scots and Canadians in particular are just as tough and ruthless as the 12 SS or Panzer Lehr in these battles. Too many battles to enumerate from Combat Mission are discussed by participants of both sides in this book. This book has, in conjuction with Combat Mission proven to me what a marvelous time machime CMBO is. Although map deficient, if you can fine a copy it't a must grab.

Eastern Front books??

also try: 'Soviet Military Deception in The Second World War' by David Glantz. "Clash of Titans' seems to me a lite version of the above. It is an excellent History at the operational level.
