On another forum, someone asked about weather data during the war. Here is what I posted for an answer:

There are several sites that offer this kind of historical weather data. Here is one example:

http://weather-warehouse.com/?gclid=CN3k2N...CFQGPWAodq32nsA

This is not a FREE service, but they seems quite reasonable.

Here's a comprehensive page from the NCDC

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/climatedata.html

This page on their site deals specifically with WWII era data

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online...ww-ii-data.html

Also you can glean info from National Archive files. When I received all the S-1 thru S-4 reports, etc. from NARA in College Park, Maryland for my dad's unit, they have many references to weather conditions such as temperature.

Hope that helps ya!

You may have some trouble with this site as far as loading the web (it's done in Flash), but worth a look at this movie (you can view a trailer). You can skip the intro if it takes too long to load and go directly to the main page.

Here's some color film footage from the site, World War II in Color

When I'm sick I tend to watch my faves and today is/was no different. Taking a five minute break from Band of the Brothers. We have it on DVD. I am sitting here once again mesmorized. I don't know how many times I've seen it now. Lost track I guess. Will probably watch it a hundred times more.

So sobering. While I am sitting here feeling nasty with a sore throat and occasional chill, I look at the guys who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and think how damned lucky I am. Puts it into perspective doesn't it.

Well back to part 7 and 8. The Breaking Point and The Last Patrol.
