I collect, therefore I am.

Just started " Jagdgeschwader 5 ", about the Luftwaffe's Polar Sea fighter wing. Recently finished " Disaster at Stalingrad" by Peter Tsouras; an intriguing alternate history.

UNREAL,BEYOND WORDS! In my opinon the most details ww1 combat in existance! even the cover is cool.
from publisher"A memoir of astonishing power, savagery, and ashen lyricism, Storm of Steel illuminates not only the horrors but also the fascination of total war, seen through the eyes of an ordinary German soldier. Young, tough, patriotic, but also disturbingly self-aware, Jünger exulted in the Great War, which he saw not just as a great national conflict but—more importantly—as a unique personal struggle. Leading raiding parties, defending trenches against murderous British incursions, simply enduring as shells tore his comrades apart, Jünger kept testing himself, braced for the death that will mark his failure.
