Charlie Plasters, SASS#60943 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I signed up for a Hillsdale college lecture series on WWII. So the lectures have started and all I can say is WOW! I thought I had sort of a general understanding of the war but I was wrong. The first was on the air war and the second on the naval. I will be watching each again, especially the naval as it seemed to have much further reaching implications. My wife asked me what I had learned and all I could do was shake my head say it was too complex for me to even attempt to summarize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It was a very complex conflict. Much more so that what we were taught in school and John Wayne movies. The allied coalition had tremendous problems, especially during the first few years of the US involvement. Fortunately, the good guys won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
