It's just not of that much interest to me, unlike the actual war years.

Very interesting time in Germany with all these factors playing there part seeing the rise of Hitler.

I just finished the audio book version of "Japanese Destroyer Commander" unabridged.

Wow!

very interesting to hear about these big battles from the Japanese point of view, especially the battles in the Solomons. The book was great because it is critical of the Japanese leaders and strategy.

Finishing off Hunt for the Red October....very enjoyable read...

Just picked up a extremely descriptive day-to-day almanac of WW2. It's fun to go through and read about the real life battles, ship losses and movements, and troop landings as they come through my radio in SH5, OH2.

70 odd pages left now and this book is one heck of a read.

One of my favourite books. I can open it on any page, read a couple of words and know what happens next.

Nice story about a sub of class 206 - found via wiki.

I've finished:

U.S. SUBMARINES THROUGH 1945, by Norman Friedman.

It was very worthwhile. I got it because I needed a good sub reference, but it was very interesting beyond that.

Almost finished:

WE WERE PIRATES, by Robert Schultz and James Shell.

This is also interesting, though rather short. Either the subject forgot a lot by the time pen was put to paper, or much was edited out.

I'm also reading something outside the nautical dept.:

THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, by Susan Wise Bauer.

I am enjoying this one a great deal. It covers ancient civilizations from Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and up to the fall of Rome.
It is ~800 pages, but the chapters are very short, so it is an easy read.

This is written in German but well worth a viewing for the large number of detailed pictures and plans.
