Yup, I'm interested in WW1 and WW2- I'm even working on a WW1-inspired piece of artwork^^

I'm a WWII (European Theater) buff. The all time best ace has to be, without a doubt, Hans Rudel. He destroyed 519+ Tanks, 800+ other Military Vehicles, 150+ Gun Emplacements, 4 Armored Trains, 70 Landing Craft, 1 Battleship (the 'Marat'), 1 Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, and (while flying a FW190) managed to shoot down 11 enemy planes as well. He is, simply, the most highly decorated of the WWII aces, or any other aces for that matter.

Note: Some of his records may be a bit exaggerated, since the Nazi's like to play up his abilities somewhat. However, it cannot be denied that he was simply one of the finest pilots to ever sit in a cockpit.

I'm interested into the part in World War II during the holocost. ( No I'm not racist.) I find it very interesting to how Hitler planned these things out. Hitler was a very smart man but he shouldn't have used his power that way. Imagine if instead of evil, Hitler did good. Imagine where we'd be today.

We'd all be vegetarians, probably. But most likely dead. Imagining a good Hitler is like trying to think of dry water; bullcrap. Besides, his planning was pretty lousy overall, perticularly the management of the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe. The only reason the Shoa went so 'smoothe' (sadly) was that he delegated most of it to more 'capable' (efficient in extermination) minions like Reinhard Heydrich.

I'm mostly interested in the geopolitical aspects, the strategical aspects and the two main antagonists of the war - Hitler and Stalin.

I love history! I took AP World Hist this year and taking AP US next year. I also like to read books on historical subjects (such as the Red Badge of Courage and 1776) Though I'd have to say I'm not only interested in stuff concerning WWI and WWII, but I do find that WWI was very interesting, being a turning point in methods of war, with trench warfare, the introduction of new technology (ex: the machine gun), etc.

WW2 was also a turning point though, with the sinking of the Lusitania (which marked the start of Germany's attacks on civilians and not just soldiers), etc

But I like other subjects other than the World Wars also...

I love WWII, it's proably one of my favorite things to study. Just the strategies and the things people would do for a country. I'm taking a course on it this year, I am also part of it because I am realted to Paul Tibbetts, who dropped the bomb on Japan. :wink:

Very true. It would be hard to imagine something like that, that would be so impossible. All we know for now is what's done is done. THe subject does interest me too. ;D
