Hi Stacy, glad to see you here. Welcome to a great group.

Welcome Armin, you found the right place to dive into WWII. We also occasionally jump to WWI topics if you're interested. Hope you enjoy yourself here.

[Jeffrey]

Greetings my name is Jeff Lavoie and I am interested in WW2 writings of all sorts though especially the connection of religion, volkisch movements, and the European front (and Vietnam as well). I was wondering has anyone ready Bill O'Reilly's book on Patton? Just curious- thanks for creating this group!

Welcome Jeffrey. Please feel free to join in. I've not read the book on Patton.

Welcome Jeffrey

You've definately come to the right place for all this WWII. Please dive right in and contribute as you see fit!

I haven't had the chance to read Mr. O'Reily's book either

Hi Jeffrey and a big warm welcome to the group :)

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Welcome Jeffrey. Haven't seen any reviews of the Patton book..you could be the first!

[Patrick]

Hi Rick,

I am a self-published author and can be found on Amazon under Patrick Nolan Clark. I will soon publish my fourth book in the series Tom O'Brien: OSS Agent.

These novels explore American participation in World War II from the perspective of an OSS Intelligence Officer originally assigned to go into North Africa and prepare for the Operation Torch landings.

In the series I try to write about some of the lesser known aspects of the war and to challenge conventional history. I am particularly interested in exploring the shunning of the German resistance by FDR and Churchill, and the implications of FDR's demand for unconditional surrender. However, I still believe the Allies were the good guys in the war, I just paint it in shades of gray rather than black and white. My father was killed in the war and I have the greatest respect for those involved in this epic conflict.

Don't forget, there was also a war in the Pacific. "Downfall" is a good place to start.

Welcome Joe, please feel free to join right in. I imagine your collection has some really interesting pieces of information even around the more mundane aspects of life on active service or the home front.

Hi Everybody,

Terrence Crimmins here, and I love History, including Military History. There is no war that doesn't interest me, and I look forward to discussing them. I'm not a Veteran (I was young and dumb....) but I now have the utmost respect for all Veterans so, to those group members who are Vets, I say thank you very much for your service.

Welcome to the group Joe. You might hear from Colin, one of the authors here in the group. He dabbles in Luftwaffe stuff I hear. Enjoy yourself and watch out for excessive book recommendations, a danger to the wallet.

[Joe]

Thanks for the warm welcome!
