One of my favorite WWII books is the war as seen through the eyes of German soldiers.

What I remember especially is the German officer who was captured at Normandy and was allowed to witness part of the invasion landing. He asked, “Where are all the horses?”

The Germans were about to experience American industrial power.

This book held a prominent place in the bookcase of my house growing up

A few of my high school friends pulled me aside to ask about my father's interests.
