World War Two - Misc Information

Adolph Hitler's last day on Earth. A graphic description of what took place in the Reichbunker in Berlin in May 1945.

Belsen. One of Germany's notorious Concentration Camps. Record and images of a visit I made there when I was in the Army stationed in Hildesheim.

British Nazi's in WW2. British and Commonwealth troops are known to have served independently in various German Waffen-SS units, and an actual legion unit was formed consisting of British volunteers, although its history was very limited.

Stalag Colditz. A subject of a US film, this was written before the film was produced. This is how it really was, not some fabled Hollywood version. The fortress that the Nazi's said the Allies could not escape from - they were wrong!

Enigma. The German Code Machine. This page was written before another of Hollywood's fictitious epics about how they helped the poor British by capturing a code machine for them (U571). This is the real account about how a determined. cold wet sailor refused to let go of a bag dumped in the sea by captured sailors to find it contained the key to winning the war. Bletchley Park became a highly secret centre for code breaking and it is here that the world's first computer was invented. (Not by IBM!!).

German Surrender Document. From World War 2 detailing just how and where the German Forces were to lay down arms and how U boats were to report to certain ports with exact routes marked out.

Personal Stories of WW2. From the eye witnesses themselves. Exclusive to this site. If you have a true WW2 experience to tell, please contact me.

Did you see the Bismarck go down? Do you hold rare images of WW2? Preserve history NOW! Give me a call.

Reference Section. All the links found relevant to certain sections are in here. Some will inevitably "die" as time goes by, if you find a "dead" link, please tell me and I can check it out. Info not shared then becomes myth, help me to help you to keep a memory alive that bit longer.
