who thinks that WWII history is fascinating?

Question

do you know is there a big following of posters in Yahoo Answers for WWII type questions? i'm coming from a different forum where i'm somewhat involved, but it gets silly at times. (it's sports). but i'd love to discuss WWII topics w/ people.

Answer 1

I'm fascinated by WWII history. A great book to read is "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer, who was there before, during and afterWWII.

Answer 2

I've read most of the popular books about WWII that were published in the 50s and 60s, and many produced by the government/military of both the Allies and Axis. Sometime soon I will start reading some books that were published before and during and just after the war. I am in another discussion group but I haven't had the time to be active.

Answer 3

I began reading books on WWII as a child. I found the history of this conflict fascinating. I moved on to books about the war in Vietnam, the Great War, Napoleonic Warfare, the Anglo-Boer War, the Crusades, and now I am getting deeper and deeper into the U.S. Civil War.

Answer 4

I love WWII and the American Civil war. The eurpoean theater is of particular interest to me. I love games like call of duty 2 which are pretty historically accurate as far as the missions and things like that.

Extremely interesting stuff.

Answer 5

ww II history = fascinating! let's talk about it...american civil war stuff is also extremely interesting, i think.


but the battle of midway is straight up a war in itself...then there is the question of if using "da bomb" was the right answer to the problem. i mean was it the morally correct thing to do, (as if anything in war is morally correct)? heck yes it was, if you lived in the times and were on the side of the allies, but lots of room for debate!

Answer 6

with out belaboring the element, on an analogous time as the united kingdom and u.s. carried the brunt of the conflict, and suffered the main casualties, the reality maintains to be that with out the commercial output of the U. S., the two could have been defeated in WWII. confident, it took Pearl Harbor to tug us into it, yet long only before Dec 6, FDR exchange into "secretly" offering hands and munitions to the united kingdom in the process the Lend-hire software. We 'lend" you some destroyers, you hire us this base or that base for the dimensions of the conflict. WWI exchange into a fascinating affair. In American history books, WWI exchange into from 1917 to 1918 - in different words, they only counted the years that the U. S. exchange into in touch. What a load of BS. even though it exchange into the human beings, decrease than Gen. Black Jack Pershing, who grew to become what have been a static, entrenched, conflict right into a conflict of circulate. it could, and is, arguably the AEF that grew to become the tide of WWI. yet I even have in no way informed any member of the Commonwealth that "we saved you men," except it exchange into in a pub after countless pints, and with a grin on my face.

Answer 7

I think WWII history is very interesting there was a lot going on that time.

Answer 8

I enjoy military history also, I'm more of a Civil War buff but like discussing WW-2 too.

Answer 9

I enjoy studying both world wars for a variety of reasons. I enjoy studying the politics & reading about the main players (Wilhelm II, Hilter, Stalin, etc...). It's all very interesting to this history nerd. *lol*

Answer 10

Me. I've devoted my life to teaching modern history (GD, WWI and WWII) and I'd better be fascinated by it or I'm in serious trouble.
