Just finished "Soldiers of Destruction" and it is a book to come back often, since it deals with the Demyansk pocket and the Holocaust like no other. But basically I'm looking for something historical, from an good author (about battles of the Western Front, 1944-45, WW2, german viewpoint from the Heer or Waffen-SS). Just to be more clear, nothing like "Lost Victories" or others memoirs. The army was dirty on war crimes together with the SS so I tend to avoid apologist or historical revisionism authors in this aspect. The reason for asking about the late war (Western Front 44-45) its because I studied very little about it since I focused on the Eastern Front (41-45) mostly.

Quite possibly the most interesting (insane?) true crime book I have read. It was incredibly fascinating to delve into the mind of Richard Kuklinsky. It is rather long but I was ok with that as it enabled the author to really dig into his whole history. After reading the book you should watch the HBO interviews with him. Just an utter animal of a man.

It appears you enjoy non-fiction so if you read this book I hope you enjoy it.

Don't really have any to what you specified, but if you're into the War of the Atlantic then Iron Coffins by Herbert Werner is a great read.
