I remember reading something in Ambrose's "Citizen Soldiers" similar to what the Gen. Patton said was in "D-Day". I don't know how you can write a book without checking the facts.

Erich, don't you think you are going a little too far by calling Ambrose's work trash? Even though some of the facts can't be trusted, I still find some of his books to be good reads. When I read his books I usually don't pay attention to the facts or statistics. I read it like a novel instead. Well that's just my 2 cents.
