Well, I must say I am thoroughly impressed, and that's not something I say very often. This book is an non-FX treatment of World War II, unlike Hell on Earth or Wierd Wars. I consider it superior to the Hollistic Designs Real Life D20 books on modern warfare, and its on par with Blood & Guts from RPGObjects.
The Pluses:
The book is completely D20 compliant.
It is well researched and accurate.
Lots of classes, feats, skills, and other crunchy goodness.
The minuses:
The book is completely focused on the European Western Front theater of operations. No trips to North Africa, Italy, the Eastern front in Russia, or the Pacific Theater with this book.
Technical production errors. The links in the table of contents don't work. There's no bookmarks, either. And in the landscape version, there were a number of incidents where the background image actually overlapped the text.
It's PDF. The author could have put a little more effort in providing better details on weapons and vehicles.
