(Not sure if it's in the right thread.)

But I found this interesting. Basically an ongoing project that 'tweets' events of WWII as they happen(ed).

Quote'Hitler's celebrating the New Year at Obersalzberg, his Alpine chalet. He's drinking a rare glass of champagne- looking east, towards Russia.'

Currently we've (UK and Australia) just rounded up 36,000 surrendering Italians.

QuoteOvernight, Gen. "Electric Whiskers" Bergonzoli & his staff have fled Bardia- they've abandoned fort's garrison to advancing Allied troops.

Chillax innit.

I remember when they started this. Sounded like a fad at the time but glad they've kept it going.
