World War 2 FORUM
Armies of the Occupied Countries

I think that the topic of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Norway etc., which were covered in "Allied Volunteers of WW2", should be expanded. There was a book on Polish Army and on the Free French, but...
My idea of MAA books is, for example:
Poland: 1) Polish Army in 1939; 2) Polish Armed Forces in the West; 3) Home Army and other partisans; 4) Polish 'Communist' Army in USSR.
Czechoslovakia: 1) Pre-war Czechoslovak Army; 2) Czechoslovak Forces in the West, units organized by the Russians and the resistance; 3) Slovakian army and the formations Protectorate of Bohemia-Moravia (Government Troops, Gendarmerie, Forest Service which also participated in anti-partisan operations)
Belgium: 1) Belgian forces in 1940; 2) Free Belgians; 3) Volunteer units in Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS; 4) Belgian Congo forces;
The Netherlands: as Belgium, but 4) is the KNIL (Royal Dutch India Army).

There is already a MAA Title on the Polish Army 1939-45 which covers the Poles of 1939, both the Western & Soviet equipped Polish exile armies as well as the Polish Home Army of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising.
MAA titles on the Belgians & Czechs of WW II would be welcome but I doubt the other topics would warrant their own title.

Small countries, although not completly forgotten by Osprey, deserve such a series in M-A-A.. Why not a five-year program for these titles? I am sure there are authors in these countries who are waiting to send their manuscripts...
