Seeing as I have an interest in WW2 was just wondering if any of you had read any good factual books and could recommend anything. I'm working nights this week and currently working my way thro Band of Brothers again which has got me looking into it abit more.

Stalingrad and Berlin 1945 by Antony Beevor are the best ones I've read.

Read them then move onto The Third Reich: A New History by Michael Burleigh

Recently finished bomber boys very interesting but not the best structure, a bit repetitive towards the end.

I enjoyed fighter boys more tbh.

Tail End Charlies is a very good book.

Most of mine are WW1 stuff or Afganistan and Iraq.

The two Moe suggested are up there as the best, shortly after I had finished reading 'Berlin' I went there to trace the steps of the battle locations.

I'm interested now in the build up to the battle of Berlin and the action on the Seelow Heights.

I like to read books on the German perspective simply because the allied side of things is saturated but hearing the tales of 18 year old Waffen SS panzer grenadiers who had fought all the way back from Stalingrad or Czechslovakia under over whelming odds.

'Backs to Berlin' by Tony le Tissier is a favourite of mine, check them out.
