Default Re: OT:splendid WWII movie you\'ll never see:(

Good. I alway welcome a good argument.

However, I will wait before arguing further that you cite a few authors to support your views.

Note I sometime have doubts about which authors can be trusted. I am still trying to find the name of the author of a recent book about D Day. Some parts of the book were ok, but the strategic situation painted was something like "if it didn't work, the russians would have made a separate peace.". That is why I am quite cautious about authors, waiting to see how they fare against each others.

Speaking of which, Liddell Hart has indeed some detractors (Montgomery first above all). However, turn the way you want but you'll still have one of the most (if not the most) respected WW2 historian. His "History of WW2" and "The Other side of the Hill" are classics.
Another author to consider seriously is Boris Urlanis. Serious work indeed.

Waiting for your answer.
