I put down the Patton book (1/3rd read) for Boris Gorbachevsky's Through The Maelstrom. Awesome post war account of a Soviet officer who post-war emmigrated to America and could write safely out of the reach of the NKVD/KGB. Not anti-Russian/Soviet but more honest. Gorbachevsky's more useful for my research.

Just started William Wharton's Shrapnel. It's a short, funny book.
Hey @Piccolo - see if you can get this book via the library or inter-library loan. The guy is hilarious and his writing style is like yours. The GI who polished his bore with steel wool and softened the rifling (court martial and fined $87), a guy who faked a medical disorder to get an honorable discharge. You can thank me later. |

Herbert Obermayer's Soldiering For Freedom
Obermayer was a ASTP Cadet studying civil engineering at William & Mary College (Williamsburg, VA) when the program was terminated and he was pressed into an engineering battalion where he became a quasi-medic (at least he gave shots). That unit is disbanded and he's sent to the Quartermaster's Corps where he's with a unit that serves the gas pipe line. Lots of theft from French civilians that slows the gas to the armies (especially Patton's Third Army). Then on page 146 he wrote: Boredom is far superior to bullets, so with only these two alternative, I'm glad to settle for the former. View Quote |

Forgot to post the last few books I’ve read. Just finished this one. I’m fairly knowledgeable on S.F. Vietnam history and MACV SOG but this was very interesting as the author served in Laos after his tour in Nam with USAID.

Isaak Kobylyanskiy's From Stalingrad to Pillau.
Like the below, it was written in America after he left the Soviet Union. Boris Gorbachevsky's Through The Maelstrom. Awesome post war account of a Soviet officer who post-war emmigrated to America and could write safely out of the reach of the NKVD/KGB. Not anti-Russian/Soviet but more honest. Gorbachevsky's more useful for my research. View Quote P. 251-2. Post-war some Uzbek soldiers were given false names, a strange uniform and sent in to help Uyghurs in China fight the KuoMinTang. I wasn't aware of that. @LittlePony P. 259. Discharged, he unwittingly buy boots that were nothing more than polished cardboard that appeared to be leather. When he showed his father, his father suspected something was wrong and scratched it with a nail. Anyway, he finds the scoundrels a few days later and recovers less than half of his money from them. P. 297. At a war reunion, a soldier insists on seeing a doctor who attended to him. They knock on her and her husband's door at midnight. She doesn't recognize him at all and wants him to leave. Before anyone can stop him, he walks right up to her bed, drops his pants and then his drawers. She recongizes the scar and then knew the soldier and had a joyous reunion (presumably after he pulled his pants up). What cajones! |
