Adding Stringer Davis to the pencil-point tat club.

Hey, Seamus, did you quit posting the diary entries after D-Day, or have I just been missing them? Well, I do miss 'em, one way or another.

...Hans assembled two bicycles, and they fled Paris just a few hours before it fell....

Wow. I would hate to think of depending on my bicycle assembly skills in the last hour!

The National World War II Museum estimates that by 2036, there will be no living veterans out of the roughly 16 million who served from the United States.

Survived the war, and still alive,
My dear old Uncle Ed
Was scheduled to invade Japan,
They dropped the bomb instead.

Seamus Muldoon: ...PW count was well over 4000.

Jen #53: Millenials are asking, "whose [who's] Stalin"?

Hell, they don't even know who Hitler was. Or what WW2 was about! Or who fought it!

Islamic State militants attacked Syrian army troops with mustard gas in an offensive against a Syrian military airport in the eastern province of Deir al-Zor that borders Iraq...

Seamus: ...Will try to catch up with the Anzio diary a couple days at a time until we are back to concurrent dates.

Turd Ferguson: "war-grade weapons" ... That's a pretty broad category.

Yeah. But, I'd say, when mosques are serving as armories, every weapon in them is "war-grade."

An Observation: Easy to see why the military didn't want anyone keeping these kinds of journals, if they fell into enemy hands they would be of tremendous value for targeting etc.

Amazed and amused once again, Maet, at the topics you cover, some in concise depth.
