Its very bad in condition and has probably bin sitting in the guys Celler for 40 years

I need information on Project Pilzsieg.

Hey, my grandfather has had this Nazi U-boat commander’s hat for as long as the dinosaurs have been extinct, and we’ve both been wondering whose it was and what the guy did. If anyone can translate his name, that would be great. Also, he seems to have been a decorated person. On the hat, there is the traditional U-boat badge followed by a Wuppertal Danke badge, Edelweiss flower, and an Iron Cross.

I know that the French resistance actively work with the Dutch/Belgian network, mostly with the Dutch- Paris escape lines, and maquisard from Belgian and France would fight together during the liberation of the ardenne region, we can also talk about the spanish republicans in the FR

However.. i've didnt encounter any sources about the French partisans working with Italian partisans, nor if they had any contact? It would make the situation weirder as Italy occupied France so it would have been weird for the French to see the Italians as allies? I know for a fact that the Italian Partisans fought with the Yugoslavian so i wzs wondering what about the French? Mostly in the alps?

Does anyone know any good books from a Russian or German perspective?

I found this in a basement I was cleaning out as well as a us uniform, I can’t find this middle ribbon online.

At which moments was the Japanese Army close to win the Sino-Japanese War of 1931-1945 ?

I always knew that The Atomic Bomb was dropped because an invasion of Japan would cause much more casualties (American and Japanese), But After Doing a little Digging I found Out that The Potsdam Declaration was seen positively in Japan's Supreme Council and By Hirohito (only the Navy High Command, tenaciously opposed it) , not only that but also 7/8 5 star Generals & Admirals of the US all said Nuking Hiroshima & Nagasaki was unnecessary (1. Dwight Eisenhower 2. Chester Nimitz 3. Joseph King 4. William Halsey Jr. 5. William Healy 6. Henry Arnold 7. Douglas Macarthur), and I keep hearing from multiple sources that if only the US let Japan keep it's Emperor Earlier, Japan would've already Surrendered.

Potsdam Declaration (July 26,1945)

Can someone please explain: What does it mean if someone was a chief ground school instructor with a USAAF fighter training group in England in March 1944? Thank you.

Good day redditors, might be a long shot but I am looking for specific ships (i.e. order of battle) for the UK Mediterranean fleet for (ideally) October/November of 1942. This is for a fiction project.

Ideally online, but paper book will suffice.

Thanks!

Born mid 80s and it seemed like a big deal to me back then — was taught a lot in schools when I lived in Europe and in America. Both sets of grandparents went through it too so I grew up knowing a little about their stories. It never felt that long ago to me.

I don’t have kids, so I’m curious if Gen Z et al is growing up feeling the same way. What do you think?

Looking for a book about ww2 similar to Band of Brothers so... About a particular company, platoon, squad, etc. Any small unit

Thanks

Maybe this is the wrong place for this, but I’m trying to find some things about my great grandfather, and what he did in the war. This is his separation notice. He grew up on a farm and as soon as he got out he went back to the farm, so there isn’t a lot of information about him. He doesn’t even have an obituary that I can find publicly.

I was hoping that some of you WW2 buffs that know significantly more than I do could help me find out other things about him. Maybe the date and place he returned have some sort of significance? I’m particularly interested in his MOS and the division/regiment/company he was in.

Absolutely anything is helpful and appreciated!

Found in my family owned 200 year old manor. Along with some other personal post-war stuff.

So many times can be argued. El Alamein, Battle turning in Stalingrad, invasion of ciciliy, Kursk, heck even late 1941 when the Germans advanced was slowed and soviets had double the Germans in fielded man power lol.

Hi, I am wondering if wives of MIA American soldiers received benefits and compensations similar to the wives of deceased servicemen? I have been able to find sparse information about this so I would appreciate the input.

So Karl Dönitz's memoirs book has been my radar for a while now, the only other WW2 autobiography that i have read was one by Gregory Zhukov "Marshal Of Victory" and really enjoyed that read and wanted to see if anyone would recommend Dönitz's memoirs or ones written by anyone else.

Thanks in advance and have a great day!
