Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Omaha Beach: D-Day, June 6, 1944

Description

Although the assault on Utah Beach ultimately became one of the most successful military operations of World War II, its outcome was anything but certain. Not only was Utah the most isolated of the five D-Day beaches, but the airborne assault was of unprecedented size and complexity. Despite the perils, American troops confidently cascaded into that far corner of Normandy and contributed decisively to the Allied triumph on D-Day. With verve and authority, Balkoski describes how that victory was won.

Summary: "Excellent!"

This book is well researched and well written. It contains fascinating personal viewpoints of what it was like to be involved in the D-Day activities on Omaha Beach, as well as an overall perspective of the planning and execution. It focuses a spotlight on approximately one-quarter of the entire D-Day operation, so it gives the reader a perspective of the tremendous complexity of the whole operation. I'm currently reading the follow-on book by the same author on Utah Beach, and finding that it is just as good as this volume. Highly recommended!

Summary: "Omaha Beach, the worst place to be in June 6, 1944."

Why so many casualties? What happened with the aerial bombardment and navy artillery? I chose this book to know about that, I didn't want to focus on the strategic view and the highlanders behind that BUT those brave, and not very lucky men chosen to land there, mainly in the first wave of assault. It was a flawed assault, they were welcomed by the feared german "88" machine gun, very well directed mortars, mines, snipers and short fire. The landing reception was like a first world war assault, totally expose to enemy fire. You can watch the movie "Saving Private Ryan", you can use your best imagination, but you will never know how does it feel to be in a situation like this ...
A good book full with accounts of soldiers who were there, the paperback pictures lack resolution but I wonder why so few pictures of the first hours?

Summary: ""If You Stay On The Beach You're Dead Or About To Die!""

I have had the fortune to visit Normandy and the landing beaches. After personally seeing the terrain and obstacles the allies faced in 1944, the audaciousness of the attack, and the bravery of the allied troops involved in the invasion became even more clear to me. I actually carried my copy of "Omaha Beach" by Joseph Balkoski with me on my visit this summer, and the book, and in particular the maps in it, truly helped me grasp the order of battle on June 6, 1944 and shortly thereafter.

I have read many books on World War Two, and this is among the finest; it is my favorite of the accounts specializing in the Normandy invasion. I appreciate not only Balkoski's thoroughness, but his willingness to allow the troops themselves to address the action they experienced in first person narratives. A corollary to that is the book's willingness to dwell not only on top leaders and decision makers, but on "ordinary" soldiers, many of whom performed amazing feats of valor with rare acknowledgement (of course, that was often due to the total lack of survivors in certain areas). After reading the book, my respect for Brigadier General Norman D. Cota and Colonel George Taylor, neither of whom were awarded the Medal of Honor, but both of whom doubtlessly deserved it. Cota's exploits eventually resulted in the capture of Vierville (p. 360), without which the remainder of the invasion would have been seriously imperiled. There were many unsung heroes on the beach such as surgeon Captain Norval Carter, who crossed the beach to collect wounded as a litter-bearer (a job normally done by Privates, p.335), to cite but one example; Balkoski attempts through diligent research and interviews with numerous participants to give everyone their due credit.

The book is very useful to military historians, people interested in strategy and tactics, those interested in World War Two, and anyone else wanting to understand one of the most important battles of the Second World War. It is well written, requires no pre-existing knowledge of the war or military principles, and is accessible to anyone. The book is well paced, very well illustrated, and contains extremely detailed battle maps of the beach.

I recommend that everyone make an effort to go to France and visit Omaha Beach (and the adjacent cemetery). When you go, make sure to take this book with you to aid your understanding of what you are seeing. I give this book my highest recommendation.

Summary: "Understanding Omaha"

I read the book several years ago, just prior to visiting the Normandy Beaches. Bought it to have my own copy and read it again. The book's great strength (drawback for some readers, maybe) is its huge volume of detail. It is thoroughly researched; written with clarity; tells the story fully. The human side of this Day In History is also illustrated in meaningful detail; descriptions of unbelievable heroism are numerous; only three Medals of Honor were awarded;many DSCs. Issue: General Cota should have received the Medal of Honor; saved many lives; inspired leadership. A really fine and exciting book.
