Combined Arms: World War II
2008-06-08 22:38:00 Combined Arms: World War II (Formerly Battlefields!) "Combined Arms: World War II™" is a 1km hex-based battalion-level simulation of World War II combat that puts the wargamer in the role of the operational commander. Combined Arms: World War II™ uses actual minutes and hours to track time and coordinate orders. Tell your combat and support units when to jump off and how to coordinate their plans. Combined Arms: World War II sticks with what wargamers know by using hexes and unit counters. However, it uses actual minutes and hours to track time and attack plans may be organized based on arrival times for combat units and their support. Replenishment of fuel, ammo and replacements is handled within the engine, as well as unit fatigue. The fog of war is fully modeled with various levels of intelligence for enemy movement and troop concentrations, including false or misleading reports (possibly even on your own units). Combat units are detailed with quality ratings, armor an...

Complex Dance: Poles and Jews in World War 2
2008-05-23 11:04:00 We have already been over this subject a few times on this blog and there is no need to rehash it forever, but despite all my reading on the subject, I still cannot seem to figure it out.See A Short History of 20th Century Poland, Who Were the Real Terrorists in Kielce 1946?, Zionology or ?ydokomuna?, Stojgniev O'Donnell, "The Feast of the Resurrection 2007" and It Is Better to Forget Some Things on this blog for background into this immensely complex subject.The problem is that Polish nationalists and anti-Semites are continuing to use Jewish cooperation with the USSR during and after WW2 as a club to beat Jews over the head with and keep the anti-Semitic fight between Jews and Poles going on forever.Here are a couple of examples of modern anti-Semitic Jewish nationalist stuff along these lines: Neighbours On The Eve Of The Holocaust.

Captain America will be set in World War 2
2008-05-22 08:03:00 Apparently a big pile of media types got to sit in with Kevin Feige and chatting worked its way around to questions about Marvel Films. Specifically Captain America and his two appearances slated for 2011 films, The First Avenger:Captian America and The Avengers later that summer. IESB.net says:IESB asked Feige if the Captain America film would be a period piece. He confirmed yes, the story will take place during World War II, just like the comic book origin story. He says they plan to remain very faithful to the source material and completely traditional. Feige also confirmed that it was definitely the Captain America shield that was seen in IRON MAN on Tony Stark?s work-station as he?s removing his suit for the first time. It?s just an Easter Egg and probably won?t have anything to do with the Capt. America story I like that they confirmed the Easter Egg bit in IronMan as I tend to geek out about movie crossovers and tributes (you should have seen me go into fanboy mode in the X...

World War II Book Tackles Touchy Subject of Sex at War and at Home
2008-05-08 16:28:00 Jane Mersky Leder hit one out of the ballpark with her well-researched, fascinating look at how World War II changed the way Americans viewed sex. You’ll find Thanks for the Memories: Love, Sex, and World War II an eye-opening read. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, young Americans knew instinctively that their lives would never be the same. The ?normal? sequence of events ? education or work, marriage, children ? had been blown to bits and, as they would soon discover, so had long held attitudes toward love and sex. Award-winning author Jane Mersky Leder argues that WWII challenged attitudes about love and sex and, in the process, set the stage for the second wave of the women?s liberation movement and the struggle for gay rights. Through interviews with members of the WWII generation, she tells the true story of how these men and women responded to the passions of war and how their lives and the relationships between the sexes were forever changed.

RICHARD HOLMES: WORLD WAR II IN PHOTOGRAPHS
2008-04-27 19:44:00 Carlton Book Limited | ISBN: 18422073X | 400 pages | PDF | 74 MBHolmes' poignant book contains 500 photographs, almost all of them black-and-white and most drawn from Britain's Imperial War Museum. A few were taken by prominent photographers, such as Cecil Beaton and Robert Capa, but many of the photographers--some destined to remain unknown, others ordinary officers and men--served with army film and photographic units. There are also captured German and Japanese official photographs. Presentation is by year, from 1939 to 1945. Holmes prefaces each year with an account of its major events and briefly introduces each block of photos within a year. Although most of the pictures are war photos, some reflect the fact that millions of civilians were affected--young children being evacuated from London, a British air raid warden comforting a child rescued from a bombed-out home, German citizens made to view the horrors of the Buchenwald concentration camp, shaven-headed French women ac...
