Hello all,
First of all, I’m new to collecting TR stuff and before posting this message I spent hours and hours reading this forum. Read lost of great tips and advices of many members and some of my book purchases are a direct result af that.
My collecting interests are mainly medals and award documents.
So far I purchased the following books:
Thomas Yanacek’s Parade Medal Bars of the Third Reich
Brian Razkauskas’ Iron Cross Award Documents
Robin Lumsden’s Medals and Decorations of Hitlers Germany
By far not a complete list, I know, but IMHO a nice start. Some of Dietrich Maerz books are on my wish list too, so the library is not complete yet (will it ever be, I’m a book guy and one can never have too much books...;-)
Anyway my question is this; are the Forman’s guides to Third Reich documents still
worth buying them, since their release date is quite some years ago.
As I understood reading the forum, lots of the older reference books can be quite outdated and may not be the best beginners choice..
I hope some of you may find the time to help me out, thanks in advance!
All the best!
Jeroen
