Looking for a good ww2 book
« on: August 24, 2003, 01:27:24 PM »
I am looking for a good ww2 book on the Germa Tiger Tank or Michael Wittman.  I have been going through Schiffers listings and wondered if anyone had any good advice?

'Panzer Battles of the Waffen-SS'.

It contains the actual platoon, company, and battalion AARs of the units. Lots of tactical detail with good coverage of the entire war. Wittman is in there - driver a Pz III at first (he wasn't in Pz VI until he'd 'earned his stripes' in a regular MBT).

Dago who are you?  Another wannabe that hides in here and never flies in AH?  Got a prob with the nic?  Deal with it.  And we all know what dagos true hidden meaning is you aren't fooling anyone closet boy...

And btw I have an extensive library, you might try that thing called reading rather interesting.

I have Panzer Aces by Franz Kurowski, but it's really all "I then killed the remaining 57 T-34's, it was my duty as a super duper German Officer."

 Some cool battle stuff though.

And weren't you going to  fight Raubvogel first instead of Dago? I'd really like to see you do your dry humping gay drunk routine with him.

Was going to recommend Panzer Aces, but someone beat me to it.

LOL, yup, never played it, but saw a screenshot or two. hahahah

I cant help but wonder if your bicycle has a little plate swinging behind the seat that says something like "BIGSTUD".  :D

hehehe, I can imagine your library, National Geographics cause you love the native pics, maybe some old Playboys, probably a couple Soldier of Fortune mags, and at least a half dozen Guns and Ammos to prove you are a tough guy.

Today is the day I just happen to feel like screwing with someone, and your ridiculous handle made you the perfect target.  No, you aren't a GOD in the game, truth be told, the best players prove it and don't act like a dork with some boastful handle.  Maybe you took AHGOD as some kinda joke, just seemed amazingly lame to me.

At least you were kind enough to raise to the bait and provide me with some good laughs.
