I have lots of books post D-Day and Pacific, but nothing on the early stuff. Can you recommend a good book?

Thanks, Xin/Jeff

Dennis Showalter's Hitler's Panzers covers that era quite well then sort of bogs down in Russia, but is still a good read.

"To Lose a Battle France 1940" by Alistair Horne is well worth the read.

"Inside the Nazi War Machine" by Bevin Alexander.

Another vote for "To Lose a Battle: France 1940'. I've never really found anything that I felt adequately covered the Polish campaign though.

Thanks for the recommendations

Blitzkireg by Alexander Lloyd is a good general work on the French campaign.

Hitler's Pre-emptive War is good on Norway.

Not sure about Poland…
