WWII History Buffs

[PHC1]

Seems some of our members are interested in WW2/Cold War historic events and technology. I wanted to share a few youtube channels I personally find interesting.

[PHC1]

Mark Felton Productions is a STRICTLY NON-POLITICAL history channel presenting films by leading military historian and author Dr. Mark Felton on a variety of fascinating historical subjects, with particular focus on WWII and the Cold War.
Mark is a well-known British writer, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers Zero Night and Castle of the Eagles, both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. He has written extensively on Japanese war crimes, POW camps, Nazi war criminals, the Holocaust, famous escapes, Hitler and other Nazi leaders.
In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries.

Dedicated in 2000 as The National D-Day Museum and now designated by Congress as the country's official World War II Museum, this remarkable attraction illuminates the American experience during the WWII era with moving personal stories, historic artifacts and powerful interactive displays.

The Museum is an incomparable experience for all generations and not to be missed on any visit to New Orleans. Come learn with your mind and your heart that freedom isn't free. Meet living American heroes--our WWII veteran volunteers. Celebrate the American Spirit at the National World War II Museum.

Literally in my backyard. Haven't been inside yet.

Been wanting to take a ride on that PT boat they have on the lake. Maybe when this COVID crap comes to and end...

Sounds like an interesting day to me.


I was passing through Georgia and stopped at the “NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE MIGHTY EIGHTH AIR FORCE” in Pooler. Thought I’d spend a few hours but it turned into a whole full day. What a museum. We are fortunate to have such great museums

Shared with a friend who spent 10yr+ in an armored division and he was most appreciative. Said he has enjoyed several of the 'articles'.
