    Wondering if anyone was selling any, following the other thread there.

    Interested in one from a slightly German perspective, if you get what I mean.



    :)

    Offhand, the only one I can think of is the "The Last Flight of the Luftwaffe" which describes the very end of the German airforce and their final battles against Allied Bombers.

    "Crabwalk" by Gunther Grass is a good novel ( with a lot of historical detail) regarding the Wilhelm Gustloff cruise ship, which was torpedoed in the final days of the war.

    Not sure if that is a sufficiently German perspective for you...

    Ian Kershaw's two-volume biography of Hitler is good.
