1/ Since I've been getting some new followers lately, it might be interesting to link to some of my research and Youtube talks. A favorite: with @seanboy.bsky.social and Charles C. Roberts, we put forgotten people back into the story of Dead Man's Corner. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qbwn...

Another great endorsement from someone I've been a big fan of for as long as I can remember. Steve also kindly provided some of the photos for Vol.1A and 1B, so thank you for for that as well!

Wonderful review of #defendingnormandy Vol.1B. 😇 It really captures the work I put into it and what I try to achieve with the series. For the English (Google Translate) version click here: 3945km-com.translate.goog/editeurs/pan...

You can find every episode of the podcast talking about the German occupation of the Channel Islands on the link below. We talk about it from the view of the civilian population and the military view. 🗃️ island-fortress.com/podcast-epis...

I know many of you haven't even gotten your copy of #defendingnormandy Vol.1B yet, but since plenty of people are already asking about Vol.2, here's a preview of what will probably be in it 😎

New reading material for #defendingnormandy Vol.2. #Osttruppen

Yeah, wrote more new text for Vol.2 of #defendingnormandy today than I have done in total for Vol.1A and 1B over the last three years! So much more fun than endless editing. 😎 Still feeling a bit rusty though, but that was far worse some hours ago. 😀

If you happen to have a copy of Vol. 1A of #defendingnormandy (or even Vol. 1B already), please consider leaving a review or rating on on one of the bookselling websites. As an unknown author with a small publisher, it is hard to get noticed. All help is very much appreciated! 🤗
