Gordon Williamson is mentioned above- he also wrote INFANTRY ACES which was ok reading.

Huh? Are there two books with that title?

Infantry Aces

I am aware of the one above by Kurowski, which I would not touch with a barge-pole, just like any other work by AFAIK erstwhile PK man Kurowski.

All the best

Williamson's book complete title is " Infantry aces of the Reich ".

realist,

I live just up the highway from collingwood,

Draw a line from Barrie through collingwood, and you can locate me in the elephants arse,,

Michael Dorosh, I read the Sajer book, I liked it,

It was cute,

LOL, my wife would love to hear about it. Snow on the ground yet? It's 55 Farenheit here in the Memphis area. Gotta love Elvis and BBQ. My wife and I are talking about moving back that way in a few years. I want to open a BBQ place. You folks don't have any proper Ribs. Perhaps in the years to come i'll be able to introduce "pickin and grinnin" to you so you all can find out what it is about LOL.

Of course, CM players i suppose will have to eat free. We need the nutrition for all our armchair combat. LOL

Realist,

we have snow,, and the restraunt I work in,, serves pretty good ribs, for being a chain place,

but for frigging amazing ribs, theres this place downtown,

Ribs, rings, and beer by the pitcher, They only have the ribs in summer.

but yeah,, a resturant that serves CM people,,, that would be funny as hell,

PS do you have poutine down there yet??

Martry, if by chance you do find a red army account book, i'd like to know. The hardships and the way they faced them would be a great read.

At the bottom of this page, where are links of the "I Remember" project published books. Part of them in russian, part of them in english

By the way, the whole site is worth to read.

LOL, the ladies would slap you in the mouth for saying "poutine". Could be misunderstood. LOL

Funny enough, the south is full of Gravy and Biscuits, Fried Chicken, and enough fatty foods that would make a heart specialist run in fright. But putting gravy and cheese on french fries freaks us out.

I love Dry Ribs, you folks don't know dry, muddy, or the other variations. If you aren't smoking ribs for 6 hours or more, you ain't gettin it rite.

Memphis in May attracts nearly 500 international Rib Cooking Teams per year. Draws usually around 200,000 people and the winner can take a purse of between 50K to over 100K in cash depending upon how they do it that year. Pork is huge here.

Realist,

Dont talk about "muddy" ribs, I wash dishes for a living,

I deal with all the muddy, sticky, and generaly nasty crap that makes the waitresses gag.

and I just got home from my shift.

Agreed - very evocative stuff.
