    Very curious as to what prompted you to purchase the Hitler book.

  2. Dmitry Vostokov Says:

    I like reading books about WWII. Here are some I read in English:

    http://www.literatescientist.com/2008/04/30/21/
    http://www.literatescientist.com/2008/04/30/rise-and-fall-of-the-third-reich/
    http://www.literatescientist.com/2008/11/28/the-third-reich-a-new-history/

    and I’m currently reading massive R. J. Evans trilogy. I also have other books in the reading queue: N. Devis’ Europe at War 1939–1945 and I. Kershaw’s Hitler’s biography
