Richard Hargreaves

Many thanks for visiting my author's page. I've been a journalist since 1994, specialising in naval affairs for the past decade, travelling the globe courtesy of the Royal Navy and reporting on the 2003 invasion of Iraq aboard HMS Ark Royal. The day job funds my passion: writing German history. I've been researching the Second and Third Reichs for the past 20 years, amassing a large library (and an even larger debt...) and delving into the archives of the world. Although I'm labelled as a 'military historian', the emphasis in all my work is on the human element - I'm more interested in the fates of individuals than the movements of regiments, divisions and armies.
