It's just not of that much interest to me, unlike the actual war years.

I just finished the audio book version of "Japanese Destroyer Commander" unabridged.
Wow! very interesting to hear about these big battles from the Japanese point of view, especially the battles in the Solomons. The book was great because it is critical of the Japanese leaders and strategy.

Just picked up a extremely descriptive day-to-day almanac of WW2. It's fun to go through and read about the real life battles, ship losses and movements, and troop landings as they come through my radio in SH5, OH2.

One of my favourite books. I can open it on any page, read a couple of words and know what happens next.
Nice story about a sub of class 206 - found via wiki. |

This is written in German but well worth a viewing for the large number of detailed pictures and plans.
