Gearing up for CMAK. Reading recommendations for the Sicilian and Italian campaigns.


Recommended Posts

My general interest in WWII has always been the Eastern Front. However I thoroughly enjoyed CMBO and it sparked my interest in the Western Front of WWII. The North African Campaign has never interested me much either but this may change as well.

The Sicilian and Italian campaigns do interest me greatly and I am certainlly looking forward to CMAK. Please post your reading recommendations for this theatre. I am especially interested in tactical and geographic information. Thank you.

A book not listed in the bibliography that I thought was excellent was called With Rommel in the Desert by a junior officer on Rommel's staff named Heinz Schmidt. I'm sure it's out of print now, I read it in the seventies, but I'd love to get a hold of it now. Later in the African (Tunisian) campaign the author commanded an anti-tank battery which he describes tactically in pretty good detail IIRC. First hand accounts are rare and invaluable...
