Several stories I found extremely interesting today, especially:
* the Japanese POWs who now want to join the Allies in fighting their way back to Japan, having seen now how they were misled
* the destroyer which rammed a German cruiser
* the tale told by the last survivor of the plot to assassinate Hitler
* the 10,000 German civilians drowned in Berlin subways by the Nazi commander.
As always, Homer, thanks for providing this for us.
