Saw this on ebay and guess who it made me think of? The ad said it was found in 1990 at a flea market in Bologna, Italy. I salute the men who wore it way back when... ;)

The Unit on Tuesday nights at 9:00 on CBS.

 

It's about a modern day elite special forces unit starring the guy that does the Allstate commercials.

Ed told me about this show last season and I immediately became addicted.

  America in WWII Magazine
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 10-12-2006, 12:28 AM - Forum: WWII Books & Magazines - Replies (3)


Earlier tonight I mentioned an article and gave you a link that was sent to me by James Hennessey. What I did not realize at the time, was that the article was featured on a site that is an actual printed magazine on WWII.

 

I had time to look over the site tonight and what I saw impressed me. Here is a synopsis:

 

America in WWII is the only magazine that tells the story of Americans fighting World War II at the battle front and on the home front. It’s a time capsule of history and nostalgia that puts readers shoulder-to-shoulder with the Greatest Generation, winning the Good War.

 

Packed with lively articles and wide-ranging departments—richly illustrated with real period artifacts, crisp war photos, and vivid 1940s posters and ads—our national bimonthly magazine immerses readers in the American experience of World War II.

 

Every issue includes:

 

• Battles on air, land, and sea involving Americans

• Firsthand accounts–meet the people who lived the history!

• WWII memories, anecdotes, and snapshots from our readers

• Pictorial essays on GI life, home-front topics, war posters, collectibles, and more

• Travel coverage—WWII-related sites and museums in the States and overseas

• Hit songs from the WWII-era

• Home-front life

• Reviews of new WWII books and media

• Insightful articles about unique US units, the war effort, commanders, celebrities in uniform, propaganda, weapons and equipment, insignia, aircraft, war production, spies—every aspect of America’s WWII years!

• Classic movies about World War II

• Period comics and cartoons

• Upcoming WWII-related events

 

I think I will subscribe this week and expand my horizons.

  Sidi bou Zid
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 10-11-2006, 10:03 PM - Forum: ANYTHING WWII - Replies (5)


Coincidence? Funny how things work out from time to time. James Hennessey just sent me this link tonight, and when I read the first paragraph I kind of shook my head. Why? Well it starts off talking about Sidi bou Zid and February 14th, 1943, the exact date I am reading about right now in the book, An Army at Dawn. Pretty strange.

 

What's ensues there and in the days ahead at Kasserine Pass, is warfare at it's best and worst. Great days for Rommel, very bad days for the Allies in North Africa. Ask anyone who was there if they lived thorugh it. Bad decisions made by Fredendall, and a huge loss of life. :(:(
