WW2 Book Recommendations

[BreakingBad]

I read a positive review of an autobiographical book of a German soldier during WW2 a few years back.  I believe the book would have been published after 2005.

I can't remember the author or title of the book, and was hoping maybe this rings a bell with someone out there. 

Anyway, going on vacation and want to find a good WW2 book, either fiction or non.  Most interested in infantry accounts.  I've read all the Ambrose books, Leckie, Sledge, Miller, Mailer.   Any recommendations appreciated.

I'm reading Max Hasting's 'All Hell Let Loose' at the moment. Excellent and unbiased account of WW2.

His other book 'Warriors' is also outstanding

This is not an account of the Infantry in WWII, but rather a very interesting read if you can find it: A European Education by Roman Gary.

I don't think you will be disappointed if you can find a copy.

The Forgotten Soldier?

[Guppy35]

I read Forgotten Soldier for the first time in 1974 so definitely not a recent book.

It is a good read.

William Manchesters wartime biography "Goodbye Darkness" would be a good one for you.  He was a Marine and fought on some of the same ground as Sledge.

Forgotten soldier is controversial. Some suggestion that it was faked. But to me it had a certain authenticity. He definitely saw war.

It could be a number of different books I'd say.
This one is from 2006. http://www.amazon.com/AT-LENINGRADS-GATES-Memoirs-Soldier/dp/1932033556
