I first decided to do this for a couple of reasons. I need to do something to exercise my brain besides work.
Second my nephew is a university student taking history and he wants to be a teacher and he asked me to review his work, and I didn't think it was all that great, both in terms of research and second because there was really a shortage of analysis. Why people made the decisions they made based around the information they had at the time? What was the global effect of small details?
So, I've been compiling these and sending them to him, and offering to have discussions with him on history if he wants to.
I think that military history is so crucial as a subject, and I'm saddened that there is less and less emphasis put on it as we go along.

Well we are all benefitting from you helping him. Maybe after Stalingrad, you do Passchendaele for a little Canadian flavor.
