We're not lost, Sergeant, We're in … France

This weekend is the weekend for NFL division winners to play. For those who enjoy American football, last weekend featured some really good games, so we have a right to expect more good ones this weekend, right? Well, this week, surfing the internet did provide a few interesting things that were WWII-related.

• A nicely done tribute to Winters by an Irish Master’s candidate in military history. He also provides a review and analysis of Stalingrad.
• If you’re interested in the Royal Family in World War II, check out this short review of The King’s Speech and then go see the movie!
• As we celebrate 100 years of Naval Aviation, CDR Salamander reminds us why we study history….

There is a reason that Gen. Mattis and ADM Stavridis are such supporters of the study of history – as all professionals are – it is because it gives you a window into the future and provides a foundation to making decisions today.

• If you have been thinking about an e-reader, Eric Wittenburg compares Nook and Kindle in layman’s terms, thanks to some notes from Dave Powell. I have Kindle on my android phone and may get one eventually. We bought my mother a Nook because her local library does e-lending in Nook format, but not in Kindle.
