 | I am looking to put together a compilation of links to WWII related source documents online. So, if you know of any, please post details and links. As an example, I would idnetify the Avalon Project at Yale University, which provides, among many other original document texts, extensive original documentation of the International Militaty Tribunal's major war crimes trial at Nuremberg, at: http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/imt/imt.htm When there are enough, I hope to put them together in one list.

| Thanks, morse. Excellent. Please keep 'em coming, folks, as having the time and opportunity to track down good primary sources is a big problem for some of us amateurs. Below is a link to trial transcripts and documents relating to the 2000 libel action where David Irving sued Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books over "Denying the Holocaust": http://www.holocaustdenialontrial.org/ieindex.html

| Hi Angie999, I posted this last week in homefront other countries. There is a mix of info as well as letters to parents and letters from parents to government etc. A very good quality sight. http:// Australia's War 1939-1945www.ww2australia.gov.au/ Regards Geoff
__________________ Spidge,  ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
