I plan on checking out the Shadows in the Mist why not. Check out some of the other books listed in the Back of the Core Rulebook.
While I was in the Box I read a lot of Jack Higgins (sp). His WWII books just have an AE feel to em.
Also look for a true story called The OSS and I. Sweet book about an agent that was an instructor at the British OSS school.
Cheers, Robert

Interesting, I'll check it out. My family and I are dicussing getting my grandfather's war diary published, he was the head medical officer for the 9th Infantry Division, some crazy stuff in there. Hopefully I'll have Golem and The Keep quicker then what Amazon said, sometimes I get the novels within a week, sometimes six months...
Out of all the Weird War II novels out there, what would be your favorite?

I plan on it, thank you! He was with Patton in Africa and Sicily, pretty funny what my grandfather and others had to say about him. He was the doctor who told Patton the man was suffering from pnuemonia, people have played my grandfather in movies he was also at the beaches of Normandy, and was the first medical officer in a concentration camp (can't remember the name off the top of my head) and took many pictures, which we donated to the Holocaust museum several years ago. I have one of his patches from the War, and will get it tattooed on me in honor of him, with a red cross. I also have his pocket knife that used throughout the war. My other grandfather was captured in Germany, was hauled out to be executed, but all the POWs rebeled and beat the guards to death. This grandfather took a Nazi uniform, etc. but the crate it was all in was burned by his father, the only thing surviving was the Luger, which I held as a kid. I remember it was heavy and was stamped with 1914 on the barrel. After he died none of us got the gun, stupid family... Sorry for the history lesson on my family, I get worked up about my grandfathers, they were real heroes to me, and I love to spread their lives to others, they deserve it.

YMMV. I thought it was tedious. More focus on the Nazis and the "vampire" would have been better to my mind.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting that war diary out, will be personally a high honor to me to see his trials and tribulations out there for the world to see. Strangely enough, my grandfather's (the medic) first cousin was a full blown Nazi. The family literally fought itself. Pretty interesting! My grandfather was first generation American, and couldn't speak a lick of German, he was interrogated quite a bit before and during training. He even took German courses, that he failed hehehe...
