    Hi,

    Keep your eyes out for a new collection of DVD's along the theme of 'everyday heroes' - covering material, archive and interviews with the likes of Pat Reid 'Colditz' and other subjects like 'cockleshell heroes' 'dambusters' etc.

    There is also going to be a newly repackaged DVD release with loads of lovely extras and interactive bits of 'A Century Of Warfare' updated with Gulf War etc. This will be released by Universal and available in time for D-Day.

    I am hoping to have more news in about 2 weeks :)

    Sounds interesting, from earlier posts it sounds as if you have a "lead in" to pre-release material, if its not giving away too much detail, how do you do it?

    Hi Ali,

    I work for a book wholesaler, I pick up various multi-media previews, samples, proofs etc all the time.

    I have seen some of the best military stuff to take us up to December 2004 already :)

    I will be posting a special section on pre-release stuff on my site soon as I have scanned in the major new title info the other week.

    Watch this space!

    Cheers

    Obviously if you find its all getting too much, I am willing to offer my services.
    I am only talking about book and film reviews!

    ;) Naturally!

    Today I received the full set of Normandy related Praeger Illustrated Military History Series. I have the following:

    Normandy 1944 0275982602
    Sword 0275982653
    Utah Beach & US Airborne 0275982688
    Omaha Beach 0275982661
    Gold & Juno 0275982687X

    These are done in conjunction with Osprey so much of the content could be duplicated. These are however nice hardbacks.

    Let you know later what they are like :)

    Looking forward to your feedback, I am particularly interested in Sword beach as I have been researching a friends grandfather who landed with the Norfolk Regt.

    Saw today Two men went to war, on video/DVD in Blockbuster, a comedy drama.

    Supposedly based on a bizarre event that happened in 1942.
