Iron Europe Update

I know I have not posted for a good long time, but our Modding Team is still working on Iron Europe: 1914-1916, a computer game modification for Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad; RO: HOS is supposed to be released sometime in 2010 (probably in the fall / winter) by Tripwire Interactive.

We are making steady progress; we are really trying to recreate all the detail as best we can in every regard.

Iron Europe: 1914-1916 will put you, the player, in the frontlines of the First World War.

Go back in time almost 100 years ago and fight in the greatest infantry war the world has ever seen.

British Companion Book To 'All Quiet On The Western Front'

I have never heard of this British novel before which was published in 1929, but I found out about it at the Great War Forum while researching ambulances.

Remarque did write two sequels to 'All Quiet On The Western Front'; 'The Road Back', which portrayed the story of a former German soldier during the immediate post-war period.

The third book of was 'Three Comrades' which I never read (I have read 'The Road Back' and it is a very good novel), but I understand the novel is about three former German soldiers who own a mechanics garage and one of them adopts a child.

For a good idea of what an ambulance driver's work was like, try reading 'Not so Quiet... Stepdaughters of War' by Helen Zenna Smith (Evadne Price).

It's a novel, but it was based on the diaries of Winifred Young, an ambulance driver at the Front.

Young allowed Price to use her diaries on the condition that she produced a story that was faithful to them.

It's a remarkable book, intended to be a companion to 'All Quiet on the Western Front', which had appeared the year before, in 1929.

While I am on the subject of Erich Maria Remarque, I would also like to recommend his novel 'Flotsam and Jetsam' which was about the plight of refugees and a Jewish family in pre-WWII Europe. A great novel!
