Giving @benkite1 's brilliant 'Stout Hearts' ( @Helionbooks ) a gentle refresh. I can’t recommend this book highly enough!

The #DDay80 anniversary has seen extensive media coverage of 6th June 1944, but where do you go for a deeper dive? Whether it's a new release or an old favourite, I'm interested in your #HistoryBookChat and #WW2 picks. Drop your #DDay book recommendations below 👇

Just listening to @TheRestHistory - and want to make clear I would NEVER EVER refer to the SS as a ‘crack squad of elite troops’ @holland_tom & @dcsandbrook Fanatical, yes, well equipped, yes, but that’s as far as it goes.

I really enjoyed chairing this panel at the 32nd Australian Institute for Professional Intelligence Officers’ (AIPIO) annual conferences (a fantastic event). Some amazing panelists and great questions from the audience.

I loved reading Gerry McKay’s vivid book on his experiences as an Australian Infantry Platoon Commander in Vietnam. I understand it is quite well known in Australia, but I would also commend it to a wider international audience.

Just bought this cigarette/card case to put my business cards in. Do any of my historian friends have any suggestions on which regiment ‘The Dukes’ might be referring to and who B.I.F. Might be?
