    How good is this book! Covers eyewitness accounts from all major theatres and includes the lesser known facts of each-which is the part I love the most. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!
    :D

    Great - I'll look it up. Also ... a great oral history book is "The Good War" by Studs Terkel (sorry it only covers Americans on the field and at home! - it'd be great to get a book like this from all genres!)

    I love these WWII encyclopedias! I own some that have very interesting information and wonderful pictures! I will scan many pictures next week and I will try to post them here! ;)

    I'm going to be putting some of my grampa's personal experiences online at my site - you can look at it herewww.grampasgirl.com There's still work to be done - but I've got the first page up! Sub pages and links to come! Anyway, more personal experience eye-witness info to come on that site from an American G.I. ... if you're interested. [​IMG]

    Grampas girl-- Your site looks good. Did you make websites before? I made one and found the creative part the most difficult, not the programming. [​IMG]
