Ostfront 1944-45 is my "home turf" and the material is vast, especially for East Prussia. Most of the first-hand material's pretty good. I can do no better than recommend Walter Kempowski's Das Echolot: Fuga Furiosa, a four volume anthology of diaries and letters from Jan-Feb 1945, mostly German, some Russian, a few Polish, a few Allied. Most of them you won't find anywhere else. Not cheap, but an absolute gem.

Shame he died relatively young and only left us with scraps of the finished project :-(
Glad you liked the Normandy book :-) I'd love to have another crack at it one day and do it properly...
All the best

Don't tell me your becoming a convert to the ground war! Schäufler, Ramm, Lakowski (I'm a little cautious about the latter as he's an ex-DDR historian). An excellent companion to So lebten und so starben sie is Der Weg war Weit. Not cheap, but not bonkers expensive (£35-40).
All the best

If you enjoy Endstation Oderfront, you'll like Ramm's first volume, Gott Mit Uns. Fritz Kohlase's works - Brennendes Oderland (vols 1-4) - are in a similar vein (and first rate) although very pricey (but you'll find a fair chunk of them translated in Tony Le Tissier's new book on Kustrin).
All the best

Glad you like Frodien - it's a real shame he wasn't in Breslau for the siege; he would have made an excellent chronicler. Plus he's a pretty easy read too. Makes a real change from translating turgid NS speeches...

Thanks for the invite! I'm very impressed with the high quality of the books that you've translated and helped produce!! There's so many excellent books on the Luftwaffe that have never been translated into English yet, so your work is greatly appreciated!
