Book just arrived today.

Looks excellent!





Very close insight of the Battle of the Bulge at 20th and 21th December around Stoumont/ La Gleize.


Cheers Kalle

And also great pictures!

Why are the German map symbols in red? As I understand it, throughout WW2, the Allies were red and the Germans black or blue on tactical maps.

Presumably it's using the "modern" standard for NATO countries, is written from the Allied perspective & therefore with blue as friendly/own troops and the Germans as enemy in red? As opposed to being an actual historical reproduction of "at the time" images...

It's certainly using NATO rather than period tactical symbols

Sounds like complicating the simple rather than simplifying the complicated.

Nah, that's probably more understandable to a modern audience I suspect...

Blue good, red bad.

Symbols you don't need to look up in a ww2 era guide to understand the guide you're reading :D

"Trivialising the momentous and complicating the obvious"?
