Yup "regards Aktung";Interesting stuff on the increased number of 'Nazi' party members in the crew as the war progressed. That, in regard to whether the boat found off Indonesia was a Nazi boat-(Prior thread); in point of fact...it was or you stood a chance of joining 30,000 executed German military persons. The implication is: being a party member, if not exactly an 'enthusiast', made life simpler in der Kreigsmarine und der Dönitz run kingdom of der U-Bootwaffe! No using pages of Mein Kampf when the TP ran out, sittn' on the obviously big can 'twixt der 'jumbos' on that boot. Poor Peltz must have worn a clothes pin on his nose-all day long!

Currently reading "At Dawn We Slept." It's my favorite book on Pearl Harbor and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the events leading up to it and the attack itself.

The Genius Of The System: Hollywood Filmmaking in the Studio Era, by Thomas Schatz. Henry Holt, 1988.

One of the very many books I picked up back when I worked for the book distributorship, just because I thought I might want to read them someday, and of course because they were free. We'll see how badly I still want to read it after the first chapter.

Since I got problems with my eyes(glaukom and some things wich I can't remember the name) I'm more into hearing books(audiobooks) Mostly I hear fiction.

Right now I'm searching for factsbook on audio.

Looking for audiobooks about the American civil war.

Sorry to hear that. If I may ask, how do you get on with the computer screen, Subsim and all that?

I found a bunch if ACW audio books listed on Amazon. I don't know if that helps at all, but I'm sure there are others.

I use reading glasses, but somehow I have started to love audio books. I can read, but I don't want to stress my eyes to much.

I have my basement filled with parcels that are filled up with danish and Swedish books about WWII
