Dimitri | 110 comments Eclipse of the Crescent Moon by Géza Gárdonyi Eclipse of the Crescent Moon by Géza Gárdonyi

Doorbraak bij Stalingrad by Heinrich Gerlach Durchbruch bei Stalingrad by Heinrich Gerlach
Not listed on GR
- a 60's book on the Vaagso Raid (Operation Archery) with plenty of veteran tales
- an 80's booklet about the 1914 battle of Halen between Belgian & German cavalry, printed by the local museum. About as detailed as this gets, culled from interwar histories on both sides.
