Welcome to a fellow Lee.

[Lee]

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome!

Hey everyone,

My name is Jessica - I joined this group awhile ago and am just now getting around to posting an introduction. I'm really shy, but I love WW2. Anything fiction or non-fiction, if the subject is WW2 I'm in. I especially love anything to do with air combat (and love stories, but that's a whole other topic). Glad to be here!

Let me echo Manray - please don't be shy and Weclome!

Hi Jessica, good to see you here in the group. I am sure you will find/receive lots of recommendations for good books on the war in the air during WW2. One of my recent favourites has been:

by Adam Makos

Jessica, I just finished this one and I can also recommend it!

Welcome Jessica, great to have you here. Look forward to reading about and discussing the air war with you.

I gave Adam a lot of info for his book, being friends we help each other out. The part of his book dealing with Trautloft and Buchenwald is on my website, www.lewisheatonbooks.com and the info on Franz Stigler, Johannes Steinhoff and the Gestapo is from my interviews with both men, see The German Aces Speak II.

Hi everyone,

I joined the group recently and wanted to introduce myself. I read one or two WWII books a month. My current book is Dictators by Professor Richard Overy of Exeter College. I saw him on a Military History series about the Nuremburg trials, and looked him up.

I'm more well-versed in the European Theater, but last year read a number of Pacific Theater books, including Fly Boys.

I look forward to joining in on discussions, and reading your insights.

Now, I'm off to watch the Chiefs play!

Welcome Ronn, jump into the discussions anytime. BTW, sorry about the Chiefs. I was hoping for a rematch between your Chiefs and my Packers, but not going to be this year. :(

Welcome!

For a combination of non-fiction, aircraft and a love story, I'd highly recommend Nevil Shute's "Landfall" (1940)https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Welcome Ronn!

[Celeste]

Hi my name is Celeste and I'm interested in WW2 because my grandfather was born in 1935 and he was a young boy through-out the war and he always reads about WW2 and I want to start reading about WW2 as well

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Hi Celeste - this is a welcoming place and there is a subtopic for members specials in our group. If you go to look at it there are two books free on amazon today that you could start with.

[Harmony]

Hi everyone!
Sorry it took so long to introduce myself... I'm Harmony :) I have a BA in History-PoliSci and I concentrated mostly on military history in undergrad. I'm currently a graduate student so if I don't check in regularly it's due to my busy schedule.
But I'm so glad to be a part of this group!

['Aussie Rick', Moderator]

[Emily]

Hi everyone,

My name's Emily Ann Putzke and I'm a writer, French Resistance reenactor, and history nerd. I'm especially interested in resistance during WWII which inspired me to write a novel based on the true story of Hans and Sophie Scholl —(Resist)

Looking forward to being a part of this group!

[Derek]

I've just found this group and look forward to learning and contributing. I'm now a researcher and writer mainly in this field, and an enthusiastic consumer of other people's words!

I strongly endorse the recommendation for Neville Shute's 'Landfall' above, by the way. I think it's one of his best novels.

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Welcome to the group, Derek.

Hi Derek and welcome to the group, I hope you find a few things of interest here.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay in introducing myself. I'm Charles and I am a PhD student in history, concentrating in military history, specifically the western military experience in Asia. My dissertation examines WWII in Southeast Asia. Looking forward to good discussions and good book recommendations!

Welcome to Emily, Derek and Charles.

[Steve]

Hi. My name is Steve. I love reading history books, particularly those about the World Wars. My interests in WW2 started as a child, looking at the pictures in my Dad's WW2 magazine collection, thinking it all looked fun. As I got older, I realised war is ridiculous and futile. I am now more interested in how war affects people, both soldiers and civilians. My main interests in WW2 are the bombing campaigns over Germany and the war on the eastern front, however I have read and will read about other areas.
I'm looking forward to seeing recommendations for further reading.
