No one wants to know more about sappers and miners!

Maybe some other month. These supposedly boring parts of warfare are understudied and often fascinating.

Would be great to see battle reports involving Germany's Axis allies - Hungarians, Romanians, Finns, Slovaks rather than just German point of view.

Ostfront October is ahead. Let's hear it for the poor rail units and logistics truckers caught in the mud.

Would love to learn more about the ww2 eastern front. Interested in chain of command issues, eg how the OKH generals, officers, and troops were dealing with having to follow Hitler’s orders even though they must’ve increasingly realized war with the Soviets was suicidally stupid, especially as Hitler became increasingly erratic and impulsive.

"The Pumpkin Spice Must Flow" is such solid work that I have to commend it. Truly Olympic-level punning. Bravo Zulu.

As a retired Marine, I greatly appreciate the past documents that you have produced and passed along. They have been a great help to me in my work and writings. Semper Fi
