Not too much in my land war
section just now as I have been extremely busy in the Sea War section.
I hope to add more items in here in the not too distant future.
The American invasion plans for Japan.
In
the event that the US would actually have had to invade the Japanese
mainland. The dropping of the Atomic bombs clearly showed that millions of
lives, on
both sides, were saved by this seemingly catastrophic event.
The "Invasion" of America. Or how
Americans panicked when a Jap submarine shelled a Santa Barbara oilfield
for personal revenge!
El Alamein - The decisive and
war turning battle of 1942
Operation Claymore - Raid on the
German occupied Lofoten Islands.
My Uncle Cyril - memorial to my
uncle who died just before El Alamein.
Oradour sur Glane.
The massacre
of an entire village on 10 July 1944 by elements of "Das Reich"
SS Division. In retaliation for French Resistance kidnap and sabotage in the
area. Its is suspected that the SS got the "wrong village" ?
The Capture of Tiger 131. The first Tiger to be captured intact in
April 1943
