22:43 on 18 January 2006 | I am interested in finding a great book that covers what it was like in occupied Germany while the Allies pushed towards Berlin. I want to read not only about the military side of the story but what the German civilian opposition was like, how the Germans were treated by the Allies, etc.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

2:14 on 16 March 2006 | "The Other Side of Time, A Combat Surgeon in World War II" by Brendon Phibbs covers some of this material. The book should rank very high in a list of WW II books. One of ten best I have read (out of hundreds of military books). Pocket Books, ISBN 0-671-66574-X
I have notes from more than 225 on my website, with about 75 nearly ready to post. Primary subject is 'ESP in Combat' with many more items included. | Submitted by John Larsen
6:34 on 18 August 2007 | The memoir 'Roll me Over' by Raymond Gantter (16th RCT, 1st Div) has a lot on civilians - he could speak some German. He kept a pretty good diary and edited/added to it shortly after the war. He describes many civilians that he encountered. It's also the best combat memoir from the ETO as well, in my opinion.
