I've read several books on the atrocities in APAC by the Japanese, mostly stuff that was written by survivors as memoirs or collections of accounts by survivors. It's hard to imagine the things that were done to fellow human beings.

Sammy G2, do not disparage Montgomery so readily. He threw Rommel out of North Africa.

To be fair.. Rommel lost North Africa because he didn't get the logistics he needed...
It wasn't a great feat if strategy as much as it was a logistics thing, the Royal Navy blocaded Sea supply and the Egypt Supply line was much to long and difficult to sustain. It was attrition that got them in the end.. the Brits did most of the dying, along with Italians and Germans.. But the Allies had enormous supply lines so when Patton showed up.. he could easily finish off the Africa Corps that was running out of tanks, food, aircover, and fuel.. on equal terms of logistics and air support, Rommel would have buried Monty in the desert

he also has similar books for how the people "converted" to the nazi and rolled into it. and books on war crimes on all sides.. interviews with people who actually did the crimes... Very essential reading.. not about the war strategies or battles, it's really about how people came to the mind set of doing those things Scary stuff cause if you read that, and look at current society.. you'll see society is only a thin layer of veneer
