I read about it in the paper pops. Colonel Whitaker lived in Hamilton, right next door to me.

Sorry WB, for missing this thread earlier. Do you still need anything? I don't want to plug your e-mail for nothing.

Having enjoyed your scenarios and articles for years, this is the least that I could do. You may be aware of some of these books but just in case...
"Failure in High Command" by John A. English (1990). A professional Canadian officer critiques the performance of our army in Normandy. Many maps included in a detailed tactical analysis of the battles from Juno beach to the Falaise gap.
"1944 The Canadians in Normandy" by Reginald H. Roy (1984). A fortieth anniversary edition which also covers the battles from Juno to Falaise.
"Steel Inferno 1st SS Panzer Corps in Normandy" by Michael Reynolds (1997). You may have seen this one. A retired British officer covers the German side of Normandy through the 1st SS Panzer Corps. Gives the German side of many 12th SS Panzer Division battles.
The first two books could be tough to find...let me know if you need obtaining a copy.
