If there is enough interest I will build a “Real time + 70 years” ping list. Volume wise, it will probably be about a post a week. At least for a while. If you would like to be on this ping list let me know. Or not. I spend time reeling through microfiche at the local university library and copy articles that catch my fancy. Most of these are WWII or pre-WWII related. Others might just show something about popular culture or technology from 70 years ago. Why 70 years, you ask? Because I didn’t think about doing this 10 years ago when it would have been a nice round number. Before that I’m not sure Al Gore had invented the internet yet.
please ping me (I think I am already on the list)
Count me in!
Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. It’s always interesting to see contemporary accounts of developments like this. Anyone interested in this particular period should read Wm.L. Shirer’s “Berlin Diary”. Sort of a chilling chronicle of the descent into disaster. Goes along very well with Speer’s “Inside the Third Reich”.
Now can someone explain to a casual observer what a “ping list” is? I never quite got that...
Count me in.
