Thanks for another great video. I put Inferno on my public library's request list. I read his Savage Continent last year and it was very good. I read Martin Middlebrook's The Battle of Hamburg many years ago so it will be nice to get a different viewpoint.
Savage Continent was illuminating. I've tried a couple of Middlebrook's histories and his style is a bit of a sedative to me. I think the only one I got through was Battleship, about Prince of Wales and Repulse. Glad you liked it! Cheers!
@@onepingonly1941 I really liked Inferno. Lots of information on all the sides. Lowe writes well so reading about what the Hamburgers, always smiled to myself when he would write that, lived through was easier to take. Thanks again for the recommendation. I'm looking forward to his Naples 1944.
The book on the Hamburg Bombings I have is Martin Caidin's "The Night Hamburg Died....short little book, but I haven't read it yet...you?....I know it's a proganda movie of Wake Island made in 1942, have you ever seen it?.....
No I haven't seen the movie. Martin Caidin was prolific. I haven't seen the one on Hamburg. I own about 4 or 5 of his. I'll look for the movie. I am trying to catch up on a lot I've missed while raising kids.
@@onepingonly1941 I have five of his books, their pretty good....I liked mostly his "Ragged, Rugged Warriors." (The early air war against Japan and one of the first WW2 books I read)....yes, raising future WW2 Historians is work....remember the movie is more propaganda than history.
