Description

While many people these day knows WW2 stuffs from movies or game like CoD, MoH or WoT, i personally prefer to study them from 'the square one': Books

First two books is 'Perang Eropa' (War in Europe) by P.K. Ojong, consisted of 3 edition (i only have the first and second, i read the third on library) with 500 pages each, give or take 50. The first edition deals with early life of Adolf Hitler, growth of Nazi Germany during the interwar and early-war era, the second with mid-war era, Operation barbarossa and holocaust and the third with late-war and aftermath.

The last book is my favourite, 'Perang udara di eropa' (Air wars over Europe) by Darma Aji. As the title suggest, the book focused mainly on air battles over Europe, from bombing of london during the so-called Battle of Britain, Operation cerberus and donnerkeil a.k.a 'the channel dash' , disastrous Operation bodenplatte, defense of the reich until first and last flight of the German jets. The book closed by a touching (at least, for me) JG 4 pilot account of surrenderment of Leck airbase at schleswig-holstein. In addition, this book also include explanation of various maneuver and tactics used by WW2 pilots over Europe (i know everything about combat box from here!) plus specification and photos of 23 famous warbirds. the book is 380 pages long

These books are basic before i started to study more about the Luftwaffe
BTW although i lived on south-western pacific and my country was once invaded by japanese, i have not a single interest in Asiatic-pacific war
