WWII strange battle story

[Sam1]

Have never heard of this battle before, American, French and German troops fought alongside each other to defend an Austrian castle from the SS a few days after Hitler's suicide.

Mine also. I just store in my documents. I can blow up the type that way for easy reading................ :up:

That makes me think. I'll have to see if it's available as an e-book.

 

Looks like I'm getting one.

 

 

Addendum: Kindle Paper White on Amazon is 99 bucks today.

Books on CD?

I ordered a book last month and got a 7cd set. I was really confused until I went back to look at the listing.

I didn't notice that it said Audible book at the bottom of the paragraph. By the time I paid a restocking fee and return shipping, it wasn't worth returning. I'd only get a refund of about 3 bucks.

I figured I'd listen to it in the car. May take me several years to finish there though. Edited December 20, 2014 by hipower

Interesting story. The more I've read about WWII in Europe, the more I believe a very large percentage of the regular German army hated the war, nazis in general, and specifically the SS.

I thought only hipsters and teenagers used macs, LOL. Just kidding, I don't even own a PC/laptop anymore. I only use an iPad.

I'm an audiobook junkie. I store them in mp3 format and load them on my phone to listen to on my commute. I actually look forward to my morning/evening drives. I'll definitely get this audiobook soon! Edited December 20, 2014 by BigK

A lot of IT people use them because they don't want to spend their off-time fixing their own computer.
