Lend-Lease

“The True Glory” - an absolutely gripping tribute to the millions of people that pulled together to liberate Europe. From the poetic narration that leaves Shakespeare taking notes to the overwhelming examples of the various details, coordination, and logistics involved (the wire netting to reinforce the Normandy beaches after the landings… the wire netting!) this 1946 film rivals modern war dramas for its breadth, depth, and spirit to tell the story from the people who lived in the layers. Fun bonus: catch the map during the first few minutes and see which A&A version comes to mind!

Hidden Gem - a street level view in England of the mixed multitude of nations and organizations prepping for the invasion.

All the sites I find for the book Europa w przededniu wojny only ship in Poland. If you ship to the US, please let me know:

@Donostio

Very nice. I’d like to see the original picture of that letter.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I will have it read it then :)

No Tiger Pilot was active US military because the Tigers were replacing the Soviet Pilots before Pearl Harbor so they didn’t want to give Japan direct evidence of an act of war.

Strangely enough. USSR actually ignored targets in Alaska if WWIII ever kicked off. I know a handful of nuclear weapons would of went that way but it wasn’t seen as a breaking point to try and invade it right off the bat.

@Imperious:

Great maps!!!

@crusaderiv if they could take them so easily, then why couldn’t the spanish take it back? a mid atlantic post for the kreigmarine would’ve been invaluable. also, the uboats didn’t need to operate there if Sea Lion had happened, which would have if spain had joined, due to the increased pressure on England. why would they be there? there’s no basis for this argument.
