This blog is dedicated to the military history of the 20th Century. While it mostly concerns WWII, I will write about stories from the Boer War to Gulf War 1 Here you may find unusual photos of military interest and unusual but true stories; from the strategic, the tactical and personal events. I will also review and critique the occasional military book and/or video.
