As a boy, I loved those little books because they had colourful covers and catchy titles which effectively dissipated my depression from overwhelming communist greyness.
Besids, I was really interested in war and military topics.
Examples of titles:
Chasing V-1
The Ghosts of the Jungle
Human torpedoes
The Annihilation of Pearl Harbour
Kamikaze - Airmen of Death

In some books the authors smuggled in communist propaganda, stressing the greatness of the Red Army, but the books which described the war in the West were quite objective.
