WWII Book Review

[Robert Morton]

I remember reading "And No Bird's Sang" over thirty years ago and several passages still resonate in my memory. Farley Mowat was a wonderful story teller and I found this book, at times to be harrowing and utterly wrenching.

I'd certainly give 'Death Traps' by Belton Cooper a check. The book follows the advance of the 3rd Armored Division, from their humble beginnings at the shore of England and all through their journey as Operation Spearhead. It's essentially Cooper's memoirs of service as a leading member of the mechanic and recovery team. The stories within paint a very grim reality of the tragic war and tell of many brave and, questionably stupid, soldiers as they fight the battles through the advance on German territory.

As its that time of year where modellers oftren have to provide ideas for a relative as to a Christmas present just got the Landcraft series book on the Sdkfz 234 series of armoured cars and on a quick flick through it looks excellent.
Nice color pics of colour schemes, some fine builds, lots of BW detail pics and some interesting details on unit allocations.
