Strangest Battle: When Americans and Germans fought together
Without order and without a goal, six million people unarmed and unprovisioned, driving headlong. It was the beginning of the rout of civilisation, of the massacre of mankind.

I've read this story before, it's extraordinary.
Did you know that the British pressed the Japanese army into working for them to maintain order in S.E Asia for a period immediately after the war ended.

Fascinating, as the article says what a brilliant movie plot

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

DM, I read some reviews on this book last year, around October time. The biggest complaint seemed to be that the book got a little bogged down with the individual histories of the people who were there and of the schloss itself. The review I read said it took too long to get to the actual fighting chapters and that the ending was somewhat flat.Dangermouse wrote:http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... ether.html

Saying that though I've never read the book so it might just be to your tastes. Only one way to find out I guess.

I am aware of the event however I have never read the book, I am surprised it has never been made into a film as it smacks of a Hollywood epic.
