Ooooh. New David Glantz books arriving this week

I've been talking with him by e-mail. Seems like a nice guy and pretty helpful in his willingness to get me a copy of Boldin's memoirs of the eastern front which has been out of print since 1961.

Only problem - it's not translated and I don't speak Russian. :mad: :mad: :mad: </font>

Tonight is purely CM night.

I've played about 15 turns (keep them coming) and been posting here. It's good for the spirit.

The funeral this morning was tough but excellent. Over 100 people showed up and I was asked to speak by Ryan's widow Kelly. My dad, who knew Ryan for 34 years, did the eulogy. In it, he told the story of the conversation Ryan had with him two weeks before his death when he asked dad to do the eulogy.

"I know they will cry so I want you to make 'em laugh."

And that's how the day's been. My eyes are swollen from crying but my cheeks also hurt from laughing.

Just as Ryan would have wanted. smile.gif

He's one of the world's foremost experts on the Eastern Front from the Russian perspective. He's written a whack of books on the subject.

No, He is in the picture shown as a United States Army Colonel, branched Field Artillery.

The uniform is blue because he's wearing Dress Blues.

As far as title of address, once a Colonel, always a Colonel. Retired or not, his correct title is always Colonel (same thing wit Generals).
