Indeed, neither Hitler, Stalin, Roosevelt, or any Japanese leader left such a valuable memoir. But if you can read through six Churchill volumes,...
QUOTE: "At least for me, I like and I write war stories with more war in them, and not so many women, but that's me." Me too. With the obvious...
Don't know about how common this was, but my intuition about the first three photos are that these senior NCOs are engaging in a long tradition of...
That's like saying that since there is 0.00001% chance of a mass murderer coming to my house to kill me, I should shoot everyone who knocks on my...
After a lot of reading about Israel, Zionism, Palestine, Arabs, the British, colonialism, and Jews, the one thing I am sure of is that God isn't...
I think John A. Adams in his The Battle for Western Europe, Fall 1944: An Operational Assessment is a fair treatment of all this. He gives due...
Berlin might be an anomalous target because: extra heavy air-defense (both fighters and flak), and/or the Berlin metropolis was an extra-big...
True, Soviet POWs starved and died from other causes in camps in Germany, but I think a vast number starved in a few months after capture in...
Compare the Kriegsmarine to the US Navy. Peak manpower strengths of about 800,000 vs. 3,000,000. The difference of 2.2M could be counted as about...

It's in ARMY AT DAWN. I think the staff member was Fredenhall's deputy. Yes, Fredenhall was CO of II Corps, until the army commander orders him...
Concern about Finland and the Turkish straits are Russian concerns, not just Soviet. Russian governments have in particular always been extremely...
He's real, in Australia if I remember correctly. Saw the original site. It's all about the uniforms, mostly concerned with the uniforms depicted...
I don't think the British tank casualties for mechanical breakdown are the same as German breakdowns. The numbers for German breakdowns is of...
How realistic was the plan to hide for several months? At the time of surrender, wasn't the 6th Army starving? Who would have enough provisions to...
There's a first hand account, in an old issue of AMERICAN HERITAGE perhaps, of a young man who took a picture of FDR backstage as he painfully...
No doubt Fredenhall appeared to have a drinking problem, and too much concern for his imobile bombproof headquarters in the side of a mountain,...
