Hi all, I'm Tony. After being brought up on war films (you know what I mean, right?) I've had a life long interest in history, specifically WW2, although I've only more recently started reading history books. I'm looking forward to joining in discussions and discovering new books. Cheers, Tony.

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Hi to al the new members.

[Rishabh]

Hi. I am Rishabh. I am particularly new to this genre. I have had an interest in World War 2 but mostly it was due to the WW2 movies and tv series like Pearl Harbor, The Band of Brothers, The Imitation Game, The Pianist, etc. I have come here to get an exposure to the extensive WW2 written archives(be it fiction or non-fiction). Thank you for accepting me as a part of the group.

[Colin]

Welcome, you came to the right place. FYI Alec Baldwin playing James Doolittle (who I knew well) is akin to Seth Rogan playing Stalin. Will never work.

Haha. Well, I shouldn't have mentioned Pearl Harbor here.

[Megan]

Hi everyone! I'm Megan. I'm new to Goodreads in general, and as a WWII junkie I'm excited about this group! I have a particular fascination with air power during the war, and have read a lot of true accounts - A Higher Call, Night Witches, The German Aces Speak. I've also read plenty of WWII fiction. It's the one era/genre I just never bore of reading about, so I'm looking forward to finding more books through this group!

I absolutely loved both books! Thanks to you both for such interesting and informative works.

Hi I am Barbara

I can remember the day my dad came home from work and said the war was over. However, I don't remember any conversation about the war. I loved watching war movies when I was in high school. It wasn't until I came across the first movie about Anne Frank starring,
I think Millie Perkins, that I became absorbed with WWII. Most of my reading has been about concentration camps and Jewish survival.

I haven't known anyone else interested in WWII subjects so I am already enjoying this site. I have bought several books from others'
recommendations. I loved A Woman in Berlin and have become interested in finding out viewpoints of German citizens and Russians also.

['Aussie Rick', Moderator]

Hi Barbara and welcome to the group and thanks for sharing the story about your dad and the end of the war. I hope you discover a few more good books and authors while browsing through the posts here and hopefully you can join in some of the group theme reads, the next one is in October.

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Welcome Barbara, nice to have you join us.

Welcome Barbara, I developed a similar interest after meeting a group of European refugees that had been friends before the war and rediscovered each other in New York. A few had survived being hidden by French families and a few had survived the camps others managed to flee to colonial territories. They were remarkable people and Their experiences drew me further into aspects of the violence within both Nazi Germany and the Soviet governments who had so little regard for civilians.

Barbara,

Let me add my welcome to the group

Welcome, Welcome!!

[Marc]

Welcome to Barbara and Megan, and anyone else who has joined recently.

My advice to you: buy more bookshelves immediately. You will need them.

[Bgdavis]

I still have a little room under the bed

Hello Barbara and welcome.

[Scott]

Hello. It's my privilege to be part of a group preserving the legacy of a historic aircraft carrier with deep World War II roots. For me, every day is Veterans Day aboard the USS Midway Museum in San Diego, which has led to writing 7 books. On Oct. 11, Honor Before Glory debuts. It's the story of a remarkable Japanese American rescue mission in France in 1944. Based on 100 rarely-seen oral histories of those veterans. Looking forward to joining in the discussions.
