  1. I am from another generation. When young all my uncles, neighbours and older men I worked with were in WW2. Also fuelled by films on TV - mainly American. I have talked to men, British American and German who were: on the first wave at D-day, Arnhem, Falaise, Arctic convoys, Sinking of the Bismarck, fighting the Graf Spree, in the 8th Army, Italy, Burma, US army in the Philippines, on a US carrier 50 miles off Tokyo, etc, etc. I had one uncle on the 1st wave at D-Day, one killed 500 miles east of Cape Race by a U-Boat (froze to death in a lifeboat), one torpedoed twice and never sunk, and many on AA guns in southern England, Malta, etc. I am interested in all history, not just WW2.
