Q: How many troops did Germany have? I have heard wide ranges from 90,000 to 24,000,000.

Our WWII questions page asks about the number of men serving in the Wehrmacht.

Q: I'm researching my deceased father's WWII military history - haven't discovered an awful lot yet, but I did find "314th troop carrier squadron" written on a laminated wallet-sized card, which seemed to be some sort of discharge "paper". I find lots of references to a 314th troop carrier GROUP, but not a squadron. Do you have any insights?

A new question about late war troop carrier squadrons added to our WWII questions page.

A World War II Database special announcement! Bonhoeffer, a new film about resistance to Hitler played at Sundance Festival and will be aired on PBS. you can download excerpts from the music on our upcoming movies page!

I'm so overwhelmed at work updates will be coming less frequently, I'm sorry. Today the first batch of photos from my trip to London - landmarks, memorials and statues relating to World War II.

Look for photos of Dover Castle and the Wartime Tunnels and RAF Museum Duxford to be posted soon.

Today’s update to the upcoming WWII movies page has three new films coming out in 2006 that have World War II related themes.

While it’s not a strict WWII movie, Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe opens with a scene showing some well-animated Heinkel 111 night bombing of Britain. But it's short so I didn’t include in on the page as it’s not really about World War II.
