Guys,

I'm interested in becoming a better student of World War 2, in particular the European Theater of Operations. The problem is, I don't know where to begin. I tend to buy books in no particular order, i.e., with no particular plan or course of study that will help me become a better student.

I am seeking advice from others on a course of study. Alternatively, I would like to know from others whether the books from Osprey publishing is a good place to start. I was thinking of purchasing books from the "Essential Histories" series and then drilling down to more detailed books from their "Order of Battle" and "Campaigns" series. From there, I would check the cites and purchase the individual books that they cite to for their authority.

Thoughts anyone?
