    As if I needed any more books (currently have about 15 books at various stages of being read) I picked up three more at Barnes and Nobles over the weekend. Two of them are non WWII-Related (Warhammer 40,000 Omnibus books) while the third is the following: Amazon.com: Crossing the Rhine: Breaking into Nazi Germany 1944 and 1945-The Greatest Airborne Battles in History: Lloyd Clark: Books

    I was wondering if anyone had read this book and would care to share their thoughts on it? At face value, it sounds pretty interesting.

    I've read it, and it's awful. For crying out loud, the author creates this mythical operation called 'Plunder-Varsity', which never existed. Plunder was 21st Army Group's crossing of the Rhine, of which Varsity was one part; he seems to like calling it Plunder-Varsity like Market-Garden, but it isn't the same thing. Anyone who can make such a fundamental screw-up doesn't deserve to be read.
