World War II History Centre Research Database

I tripped over this tonight, and thought it might be helpful to someone who comes here looking for information on a family member, etc. Please note that they do charge a minimal flat rate fee for service.

What is the Research Database?

Are you looking for information about a relative who served in the military during World War II? Do you know what unit or ship they served with, but don't know much about that unit or ship's battle history? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we might be able to help you.

We are compiling a database of military personnel, military units and naval vessels, on which we have information, that served during World War II. If we have a magazine article, book, documentary, photo, or other resource which contains information about a person, unit, or ship, it will be listed on the database.

What is the purpose of the Research Database?

1 Due to the recent popularity of World War II films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers", many people are becoming interested in what their father, mother, aunt, uncle, grandfather, or grandmother did during the war. Unfortunately, many veterans never tell their stories before they pass on or are forgotten, and many children of World War II servicemen never learn of their father's or grandfather's honorable service because they may have been lost in combat.

We are attempting to help "bridge the gap" between the information that is out there, and those that are interested in it, but don't have the time or resources to find or even look for it. We hope you find the information that you are looking for within these pages. If not, please check back with this site as we are constantly getting more resources and adding new names to the database. Good luck!
