I've got the Bloody Shambles vol.1 
What is rather disappointing for You - in Polish...
What is disappointing for me, the vol. 2 didn't see the day light in my country...

I found it on Amazon, but 35$ is a bit too much for me. It's about 100 zloty. And I bought the vol.1 for 35 zloty...
In general books are becoming here more and more expensive. It's a torture for me!

Im fixing to buy the Historical Atlas of Germany
It is filled with lots of maps including major battle maps and stuff. Should be an interesting book.

I believe it only covers land battles and Sea Battles. It is a historical atlas of Germany and air power did not directly change the shape of Germany.

syscom:
the book by Michael covers the a/c and pilots/crews lost during the war; German night fighters in two seperate volumes. there are gaps I have found but they are probably the best references so far published. Second volume a few pics but really nothing interesting except cracked up a/c and debris. both volumes published through the German firm VDM and are in German. This is not a real problem though as it lists the a/c, it's code usually, the unit, werke nummer if applicable and the crash site if known, also the crew members full names and rank at time of death or wounded/bailed out.
Again these are losses by Dr. Theo boitne is planning a huge volume covering the Kills/claims of the night fighter force along with many personal bios, and this will include many of the losses listed in Balss book but with more of a first person account. I'll list this item when it is available, which should be in the middle of 2006. Over 1500 pilots alone covered so far

There's a Bloody Shambles Vol.3 if not already released, it is set to be released very soon. I shall certainly buy all three when I get some more money.
Here are some books worth a read;
Russian Tanks of World War II - Stalins Armored Might by Will Flower and Tim Bean.
Although it doesn't go indepth into each individual machine used by the Red Army it does give a good overview of their performance in the field and development history. The book also sets the scene for World War II with the Red Army. It explains the history behind the expansion of the armoured forces in the Red Army and also gives a brief, but informative, overview of Red Army tactics before and after Stalin's purges. It also includes some useful numbers and statistics.
Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War Two. by Peter Chamberlain and Hilary Doyle.
This is the definative guide to the technical aspects of each and every German AFV. From the most well known tanks to the least well known half-tracks, this book has them all. It covers the technical details of each mark and sub-variant. It has a development history and brief (very brief) combat performance of those that served. For technical details this is the book ...for combat history you'll need something else.
British and American tanks of World War Two by Peter Chamberlain and Chris Ellis.
Another amazing book, all the technical details of Western Allied tanks. Although not all AFVs that fought with the Western Allies are included it is a remarkble book and well worth having if interested in the armour of the Western Allies. Despite the fact there's no mention in the title, it does contain the technical details of Commonwealth AFVs too. Contains full technical details, detailed development history and short service history of each type and sub-variant. Again for proper combat performance and history another book would be useful.
I'll get on to my other books at a later date.

Plan have you purchased any of the Waffen SS armor titles ? Wolfgang Schneiders tribute in his 2 volumes on the tigers in Combat 1 and 2 are nothing but classics. Not any tech details of note but pure raw and intense combat with pics covering the heavy Abteilungs both Heer and W-SS. must read for you armor guys
Nope, unfortunately I don't have any books that are purely dedicated to one single tank, or unit's combat actions. They are a must have for me ...but I don't have them because of money, or lack thereof.
Some more titles that I own;
Hitler's Samurai - The Waffen-SS in action. by Bruce Quarrie.
A great book but a little short. It has all the Waffen-SS units listed with brief histories or deployments. There's the creation, training, uniform, weapons and combat of the Waffen-SS. A remarkable read and a must have for anyone interested in the combat prowess of one of the most highly trained and skilled, not mention brutal military units in World War II.
It is an old book and out of print though. There's probably better, more modern and extensive pieces on the Waffen-SS. But I enjoy reading the book and there's lots of really good pictures inside.
Achtung Panzer! by Heinz Guderian.
I don't think much needs to be said about this book. It's famous with anyone with an interest in the armoured warfare in World War II. It was the book to read for all German Staff Officers that were to be commanding any form of armoured unit.
It's an extensive study of the flaws of the World War I tactics and the use of armour in the Great War. The conclusions are drawn from the Great War as to how armour should be used in the future. Written in 1937 - it is what became known as blitzkrieg and his theories in this book were proved throughout World War II when used.
Don't think you know armoured tactics of World War II unless you've read this book. It's a must!

Achtung-Panzer! can be heavy going and has a huge forward, but I'll finish it one day!
WW2 German Artillery
Ian Hogg
Covers ALL Flak, Anti-tank and IIRC Naval etc inc armour penetration, ammo, probably everything!
- exhausting with the amount of info in it though.
I seem to have a good copy with Puppchen Nebelwerfer etc info IIRC, apparently it can be missing.
There's a book you might like Erich it's a Pz38 commander who repeatedly killed KV1's by shooting them down the barrel!
- Forget the title/author though (I'll Edit it in later)
Steel Fist
Nigel Cawthorne
A great tankS of WW2 book, doesn't mention the tanks much, but kinda a WW2 'tank diary'.
Centurian Universal Tank
All about this long-lived tank, from the need, to concept to it's AVRE use in Iraq.
Some good info/pics.
NB: These aren't as easy reading as the others I've posted, but Steel Fist is inexpensive at least.
