A simple request please: Keep to the 50 year narrative!

Mixing 1942 and 1943 reports together presents today's reader with an accurate clear "image" of the political, military and propagandist attitudes and day-to-day "knowledge" of each daily story ONLY if that reader is already intimately familiar with each battle and each air raid in the war.

It is actually a 70 year narrative. Everything in today’s post is from 1943 except the links to previous best sellers lists. What are you referring to?

He is not ‘mixing’ anything. The linked maps and articles also say ‘42 because they summarize campaigns that started in ‘43 like the soviet winter offensive. They are still relevant
‘now’ because they are still ‘on-going’.

Now I get it. I didn’t look at the reply you were replying to. It is just as TalonDJ said. The maps on my profile at any given time represent “current” campaigns and situations. The flaw with my method is that the list on any given thread will be out of date if someone visits the thread on some remote future date. So the threads from September 1939 still advertise maps of the Polish campaign when those maps are long gone.
