Homer:
Lots of reading homework here today; isn’t finals week coming up?
Cougar: I sure can’t wait to see how that Soviet occupation of Suomussalmi works out for them.
You will also note how Stalin’s heavy-handed diplomacy toward Romania is driving that poor country into Hitler’s embrace. Romania was treated like dirt by the Germans, but the Romanians were grateful for it, the Germans having the insurmountable advantage of not being the Soviets.
For me my next round of classes started today but I’m on a slightly different schedule. On the one hand I have what will likely be one of the hardest classes that I will ever take in a 16 week course on the Holocaust, but another class I have this semester is solely on the Allied leadership which I hope will give me some good insight to share with everyone here.
I still need to nail down what I’m going to do my master’s thesis on but right now I’m leaning towards the U.S. Army’s preparedness leading up to their entry into WWII. Par35 gave me the idea and it seems pretty interesting.
