Re: [WW] Reference Sites

["Otto Cargill" <otto05@hotmail.com>]

Hey Bob,

Here are a couple sites:

http://www.wwiionline.com
   Yes, it's for the mmorpg game but it has good examples of the equipment 
and vehicles used plus deeper in it has good examples of units from both 
sides.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/wwtwo/
   A solid site detailing just about everything to some extent.

Go to the local B&N or bookstore and check out their bargain bins. They 
always have at least a handful of WWII stuff in them, helpful for reference 
and study.

I cannot stress enough, Watch the History Channel, especially on Sundays. 
Barring that, hit Blockbuster and get: The Dirty Dozen, Guns of the 
Naverone, Battle of the Bulge, Saving Private Ryan, American Werewolf in 
London (for the Nazi Orcs), Pink Floyds The Wall (good battle scenes though 
brief, excellent examples of rallies later on)

And of course any others that catch your eyes.

Otto
