Good information, Spitfire. :thumb: I think I asked in another thread about Canadians resting in France. I'd seen a mention of that in a...
I haven't really researched the battle of Dieppe, but I think it's probably one of the most important contributions of Canada during WW II. The...
This is interesting. I just took for granted that everyone referred to WW II as we did. I'd also be interested in the name for the American...
Would that film be U-571? If I remember correctly, it dealt with the Enigma, but took some liberties with the actual facts. That was a great...
My father was called up for the war, but allowed to stay and operate his farm. We had neighbours from Germany who probably had some interesting...
I wonder if that documentary is available (legally) online? It seems like more and more shows are putting episodes in online archives now.
I agree with this. I think that Saving Private Ryan and Windtalkers show some graphic scenes that help us see the reality of war. On the other...
The musical The Sound of Music involves the Nazis pressuring the Austrian Von Trapp to serve in their navy. I saw this movie when it came out...
I remember friends of mine talking about news articles and how a war seemed imminent back in the 70s and 80s. Looking back it seems like we...
I don't think I've heard the mention of WW IV before this. I'm not even sure why we'd call the Cold War WW III, although it obviously was a...
I haven't looked into the theories much concerning Pearl Harbor, but I expect they're basically what Stalin's suggesting. But looking back, it...
I've heard that there were conspiracy theories involving the attack on Pearl Harbor. I'm not really familiar with them though. I realize that...
That's pretty much the only woman's name that I thought of, too. :silly: Didn't her sister marry one of Hitler's entourage or officers?
Thanks for posting those images. I have yet to see Das Boot. I have seen K-19, U-571 and The Hunt For Red October. My interest in subs was...
If you'll excuse me following my own post, I can now give more information because I've found the book. :der: It's by David Stafford, entitled...
I remember some details, like they'd go to great lengths to equip the spies with clothing and items like stationery and pencils that were...
Aside from their contributions in the factories, women were definitely in harm's way as well. In the last couple weeks I watched a WW I video...
I think I remember hearing about annual ceremonies in France if I'm not mistaken, honouring the Canadian effort in some of the WW I battles in...
I haven't seen it, but I'd like to check it out. Would you say it's pretty accurate historically? I know sometimes liberties are taken for the...
My in-laws live in Owen Sound, where the Billy Bishop Museum is located. I've never been there, though. I'd like to visit that. I'm sure I've...
