Try Thomas L. Jentz "Panzertruppen" on german tanks. Developpment, tactics, experiences, numbers. It is the best I found.

He worked for 25 years on that.

You may want to look at www.schifferbooks.comthey mostly have books on specific weapons systems, but they do offer some on tactics. Several are by Thomas Jentz, who was mentioned in earlier posts.

I have seen plenty of good references to fine web sites, but when you want a source to getting books you can read in the john you need the Military Book Club (its part of Doubleday).

No I aint soliciting for the club, I am a member and have been buying books through them for years.
I aint saying they are cheap or even close to it. Military reference is a niche market, forget cheap right now. But they market books you wont be finding on any book shelves any time soon either.

Most of my gems in my library I found through them. Quality hardcovers that were worth the serious funds too. Trick is to use yer opening purchases to get the expensive titles. Then resubscribe and do it again after buying 4 cheap options (effectively makes price more palatable).

I have several examples of German unit actions that I have bought this way.
I LIKE that my life bothers them,
Why should I be the only one bothered by it eh.

Les, you sneaky old devil! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> I used to do this with the Science-Fiction Book Club, and never thought to get into the Military Book Club. Thanks for the reminder! Also, thanks to everybody for the great sources on the net. I've been pretty busy for the past month and 1/2 and am just now getting back to the Forum on a regular basis. The is fantastic stuff!! Kudos to all who have contributed so far (even the "bumps!" <LOL>)

"Best of" threads?

For those of you with some time to root through this huge mess, do you want to find a few dozen of the "best threads" in SP:WaW. I can move them to an "archive" folder so they are more readily available.

Yes please. That way my favorites folder would not be so unmanageable.
