If you use the definition of WW2 ending with countries signing a peace treaty then WW2 continues also for Russia and Japan. In fact, they still...
Yes, it's strange because I am a very map-oriented person meaning the first thing I do when hearing of a new place is to look at a map of it. I...
Great pics! I have a question. On post #26 there is a plaque commemorating 6 soldiers who died on that spot. It is dated June 16, 1944. I was...
I have a stupid question. Why would the Germans build an automated weather station? Could they not get the weather from monitoring U.S./Canada...

As was mentioned earlier in this thread, more people died when we sent 300 B-29s over Tokyo with incendiary bombs than died initially when we...
