Wow. My belief that there is no end to WWII books is growing. I feel like I've read great gobs of WWII books (probably close to 40) but I've not even *heard* of these titles.
I'm eager to hear more about them.
Happy Reading!

PS Snow covers the ground and I am happy. Staying home and reading seems the right thing to do in weather like this.
Are you familiar with these three books, a WWII trilogy by Edith Pargeter - The Eighth Champion of Christendom (1945)
"Reluctant Odyssey" (1946)
"Warfare Accomplished" (1947)? They are powerful. (Pargeter also wrote as Ellis Peters and is the author of the Brother Cadfael series.)
I like your blog. I will be looking for some of the books I've learned about through your writing.
Thanks.
