Meet other WWII History Buffs. Discuss strategies; tactics; battles; personalities; the weapons of World War II; the Holocaust; precursors to WW II, such as the Japanese invasion of China and the Spanish Civil War; the history of fascism; films about the war; propaganda techniques used by all of the warring nations; films about WW II; the continuity from WW I to WW II to the aftermath, including the Cold War and the waning of colonialism; the psychology and sociology of warriors who will fight to the death; reminiscences about family members who served their country; and other topics that members introduce.
This meeting is going to be a special event because we are going to have a B-17 pilot from the European Theater of Operations, I believe, give a presentation about his wartime experiences and, I would anticipate, also field our questions. This gentleman has participated in a recorded interview as part of the Veterans' History Project of the Library of Congress, so he will certainly be giving an interesting presentation. Read more
