About meBorn and raised in San Diego but have called the US Army home for the last 18 years. I am an intelligence analyst and discovered Library Thing while in Iraq on my 3rd deployment. Married and have two boys. Bought my first book when I was 9 and still going strong 34 years later. The first book I bought was a dollar and was about German Me-109s. Miss those days for sure.
About my libraryAlmost all military. Cannot recall a time in my life when I didn’t have a love for military history and military books. My primary interest is in WW II with my primary focus being the German Army, the Waffen SS and panzers. Not to interested in anything before WW I. Enjoy books on military uniforms, mostly combat and camouflage uniforms, armor and infantry weapons. Have also spent some time acquiring some aviation books with an emphasis on F-4 Phantoms, P-47 Thunderbolts and B-17 Flying Fortresses. My library is definitely geared towards photo reference and more pictures, less writing. Not that I don’t mind a good read but want to see soldiers, armor and military equipment in a field environment or combat setting. I also build 1/35 scale armor and vehicle models. A solid photo reference is a must for that hobby. I guess a good day at my house is when I can work on building a model all day and have several books out providing accurate pictures, information and combat data.
NEWS FLASH! OK, I confess. Seems I have a few books in my library that are not about panzers, the Waffen SS or Veitnam. Really enjoyed building my library while deployed to Iraq so when I came home I decided to add all books to my library. Discovered that I have more books then I realized that are pre 20th century. Oh well.

Also for rudel519.
I believe that we have the same book, "Deutsche Soldaten".
I had a problem finding the book's data on amazon.com when adding the book.
I believe that the author's name is misspelled. It should be 'Saiz', not 'Sainz'.
But maybe it's just my oldtimers disease acting up again.

As you seem interested in armor and already have 'Israeli M4 Sherman and Derivatives', you might like 'Israeli Sherman: Tracing the history of the Sherman tank in Israeli service' by Thomas Gannon.
Take care.
