Anyone know of any Web Sites that contain first person accounts of WWII Battles or whatever? I could reaily go for a good short story now since I am snowed in.
Thanks Pvt.Tom

Pvt.Tom,
Just go to www.tankbooks.com. (http://www.tankbooks.com.) It's an oral history site founded by the son of a WW II U.S. tanker and has enough material to keep you occupied for months. Be sure to read TANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. It's an absolute must for treadheads.
Happy reading!

Well in 2002 I am going to Europe more specifly, Czech republic. My Granpa lives there, he served with the 12th SS Hitler Jugden. Before he told me he served in the hitler youth but thats all he said, well plus the stories. So I called him up and asked him more. He told me, he served with the 12th SS, later in the war. He still has his uniform, his dagger, and small flag.
So when I figure out how to make a site, I will make a website dedicated to my Grandfathet, Otto Faustka.
The site will have his pictures from the war and his stories and diary entries he kept. So I hope it's going to be a good site.
Sadly I don't know how to make a site yet.
So hang on people.

Get Frontpage98 or 2000. It's an easy to learn Web page creator. An by a good book to learn the basics of File Transfer.
Don't give up and look forward to the site one day.
