The Death of Glory: The Western Front, 1915 - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ET09EEA (Free)
The First World War remains a controversial subject: the bitter reality is often clouded with popular - and damaging - myths. Many of these misconceptions relate to the competence of the generals and the true outcomes and achievements of battles - particularly the battles fought during 1915. The reality of these battles has increasingly been distorted by the allegation that the men were lions led by donkeys, with much of the blame put on the relevant commanders.In this well-researched and highly readable book, Robin Neillands reveals the truth behind this fallacy and the events surrounding the battles, and sets them in a wider context.Before the Iron Curtain:
My WWII Childhood (Iron Curtain Memoirs) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DS7TXIC (Free)
At the time Anne Frank lived in Holland, Irene Kucholick grew up in eastern Germany, 75 kilometers southwest of Dresden. Banned from her father's study, because it was there he taught the fleeing Russian nobility German. Irene's first experience evading police came at age five. By eight she realized grownups frequently listened to Hitler's radio speeches. Soon her friend, Esther, wore a yellow star and Nazi youth marched in the streets while the half-Polish Irene was deemed unfit for membership in the Party. From Kristallnacht and hidden neighbors to whistling bombs, a prison cell and her father's draft to the Russian front, Irene takes us on a World War II journey through the eyes of a child who lived to tell the tale

I was starting to worry you had moved on, Peaceflower.
Just flipping through some of the pages and looking at the photographs; it's pretty amazing to see just how small many of the tanks actually were.
how hard is it to transfer these from a phone to a tablet at a later date?

if its locked-in to your Kindle app libray ID and you have the Kindle app on your tablet installed too, its just in your library...
i once had a case where i had started a book on the phone and when i continued on the tablet, it even asked me if i want to flip to the actual page of the book accessed on my phone
unfortunalty the give-away time is already over?
The Zadoga book still shows at $0.00. Maybe it's a US- only freebie. I wonder if it can be gifted somehow.

The book is easy to transfer. I'm not sure about the photos themselves.
thanks/
SEE GUS YOU CAN TRANSFER THEM!
If you can access them as .MOBI or .EPUB files (whichever they are, one is Nook and one is Kindle), you can pretty much put it anywhere you want, device-wise.
If you need to convert one file format to another (such as PDF to .MOBI or whatever), try a free program called Calibre.

I'm sure this might have been mentioned elsewhere in these forums, so sorry if this is a repeat.
