Bought these two yesterday, as a pressie to myself for finishing the first draft of my masters!

Will inform you all about the Warsaw Uprising and Stalin's (or should that be Kai's) fighter Aces!

Just been reading a list of all the 'ramming' actions on the 22nd June 1941. A surprising number survived to try it again. Even a couple of Bombers rammed German planes. Crazy...

I started reading Rising '44 and on the first page I was reading about the listening station in Hemel Hampstead - round the corner from my fiancee's parents (and it was her Dad's book I was reading...)

A very good book, although I must admit to not having finished it yet with so many other books on the go too!

Here's that website I posted a few weeks back if anyone wants a nice survey of the 44 uprising.
