Recently they discovered some photos from the US Army training for the D-Day landings. The troops are shown with bazookas and other weapons, marching, and looking at dioramas of the landing beaches. One of the things that is remarkable it the great uniformity of the soldiers. The same uniforms, the same gear, they all look the same.
Research into historical topics never seems to end. Just this week they discovered what is probably a previously unknown photograph of President Lincoln. They also discovered an inscription on the inside of President Lincoln's watch.
The fall of the Soviet Union and the reunification of the two Germanys brought us all kinds of new information about World War Two and the Cold War. It seemed half of my book collection was out of date overnight. Information we were told for 40 years turned out to be inaccurate. Part of the fun of wargaming is the historical research. Watch the news to keep up with the past.
