  1. High school drop out, so I read a lot. 90 books on my Audible account alone and they are almost all about World War 2, but mostly in the East. Now listening to Audie Murphy's To Hell in Back for probably the 10 or 11th time. Grow up on part of Battlefield, Third Battle of Winchester, Virginia, so I tried to learn everything I could possibly learn about the Battles there. The information is out there just got to look for it. Also, I have helped clean up the cemetery where General Patton's grandfather and great uncle are buried because it's not to far from my grandparents graves. My midwest wife of 45 years, thinks all old families from Virginia are inbred, sometimes I think she's is right.
  2. Good book on General Slim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeat_into_Victory
  3. In the United State's we have winner's history, not true history, but it sounds good. Cousin George had a great many failings in World War 2. This is good book to start with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Army_at_Dawn
  4. Nope, the United State's and the British would have had their butts handed to them. The United States looks great on TV, but the real story of the war in Western Europe is a extremely different story. Also look into The Soviet invasion of Manchuria, the Russia's moved 1.6 million troops from Europe to Asia. That in itself was a modern military miracle.
  5. The British and Americans did a study before the war ended about taking Soviets and came to the conclusion it would have been a very bad idea. They wanted to keep what little of Europe they were able to Liberate. When I was a kid I would walk by General Patton's Grandfather and great uncle graves everyday on my way to school.
  6. Had a computer tech that was always hyper, one day I was helping him load parts in his car, saw a Krispy Kreme box on the front seat. Asked him do you like those donuts, he said "Yes, I eat a box every morning", so between the sugar and coffee we now knew why he was so hyper.
