The Fleet Air Arm and the War in Europe 1939-45 (Hobbs)

I bought this back in 2022 but never got around to reading it. Have done so (or more accurately have almost done so) now and have to say its a very good read. Its a real pity that the Mediterranean is not covered - but that is down to me for assuming rather than actually checking before purchase.

Sadly its another area where the Germans provided far more forward thinking than their British counterparts in the build up to World War II.

I have almost finished this gem. Any wargamer must read this book.

Why between Moscow and Kiev in 1941 only one choice was possible?
Why would Rommel never have succeeded in 1941 and in 1942?
Why is the link between Germany and Japan armies in India a pure fiction?

All is explained by logistics and this book explains it very well. A must read.

Today I finished reading the book “Atomic Habits”. Quite an interesting book, especially for those who want to change something in their lives.

I’ve read Atomic Habits too It’s such an inspiring book, especially when it comes to building positive habits and how small changes can lead to big results. What changes do you plan to make after reading it?

This could be interesting. I’ve not read anything previously by this author but the subject matter makes this worth taking a chance on.

The Fleet That Fought Itself - The Spanish Navy And The Civil War 1936-39 (Heinz)

This comes out in April and I’ll definitely be pre-ordering this.

I've just started to read Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland. A warning from the past for the present, and I think we need the reminder. The worse atrocities in war are too often not committed by fanatics, but by ordinary men just following orders.
