Prien misidentified the seaplane tender as HMS Repulse . . .

Well, it was dark out.

I am sitting in my office/study surrounded by a huge library of of WW II history books with the bulk of the stuff focusing on ships and navies. Probably a thousand volumes, give or take. Been collecting and studying them for 45 years. I hardly look at them any more, since so much data is available online.

Now that I’m almost 60 years old, I need to think of what I need to do with all these books. Don’t need the money, so selling them is out.

I’m thinking if I could find the proper library or some young deserving student to donate them to would make me feel really good. I’ve talked to the curator at the USS Alabama in Mobile, and he seemed interested.

Any ideas from my fellow FReeper history buffs?
