Hi,

Just started reading the following book: The Face of Courage from Stackpole

It basically the 98 Germans soldier (out of 19 millions with axis country) of WW2 who "won" the Knight Cross AND the Close combat Clasp in gold for 50 days of close combat fighting (IE fighting up close and personal).

I can t think of more "hardened" modern troop then these soldiers (and officers). Alike to Rudel the fly boy... The sergeant from Pacific (can t recall his name) who got the MoH and the NAVY cross (after dying on Okinawa). Knispel panzer wise!

In any case, very good reading so far for WW2 enthusiasm!
