Jo Davidsmeyer | 2 comments Hi! My name is Jo Davidsmeyer. Been fascinated with WWII history since a child.

I have just finished a book from my grandfather's WWII scrapbooks. He was a Signal Corps Colonel on General MacArthur's staff. I really want to share his story, so I have made the eBook FREE now through Saturday the 21st. Would really appreciate feedback.

MacArthur's WWII Seaborne Communications: CP Fleet reports, brochures, memos from the scrapbooks of a Signal Corps Commanding Officer

I hope you will enjoy going through WWII experiences.

Thank you so much.

Welcome, Mark. The World At War is an awesome series. I have it on blueray but my player is not working just now. Prety sure it's being shown on daytime TV if you have the time ...

When I was in college, I took a class on World War II. It only met once a week, so it was 2.5 hours long. The second half of class always featured an episode of The World at War.

Lucy Colback | 2 comments Hi, group. New member here—I'm fascinated by how WW2 has influenced our modern geopolitics, and is still used to shape modern public opinion.
So much so that I went around the world for four years pre Covid interviewing survivors from countries including Russia (pre war), Britain, the US, Japan, China and Germany. Their words are all compiled into a book which I just released in honour of the vets in the VE Day anniversary week, if anyone has interest (it's called Afterbursts).
Otherwise, one of my favourite works on the topic is The Fear and the Freedom, by Keith Lowe. Also loved One Day in a Very Long War and I'm a huge fan of Svetlana Alexievich's moving works on the individual experiences of conflict.


message 4875: by Marc (new)

Marc | 1746 comments Welcome to the group, Lucy. Your book sounds very interesting and I'm sure many in this group will look into it!

Welcome to the group, Beata.

While not a comprehensive book on the entire battle, I found this book on the Battle of Britain to be very good:

The Battle of Britain Five Months That Changed History, May-October 1940 by James Holland The Battle of Britain: Five Months That Changed History, May-October 1940
