Dear Friends:

As you may know, my web page, “World War II Plus 55,” is no longer on the web, since the death of my webmaster, Howard Wright, in August 2013.

Since then, I have reviewed the fate and future of this project, which was rendered overtaken by time and non-existent by mortality.

I have turned into what will become a series of E-books, a day-by-day history of World War II, timed to the conflict’s 75th anniversary, using my original material (to which I retain the copyright), and substantially expanding and rewriting it, to address errors, include additional information and characters, and generally make it more interesting, and finally earn a buck off of it.

The advantage of self-publishing is that I can bypass the world of agents and am not restricted by space and time. The disadvantage is that it’s hard to market one’s own work. Nevertheless, I am going to try.

Fans of the German military will find these volumes jammed with stories and information about the German war effort, from top to bottom. While much space is given to the familiar German faces of World War II, like Hitler, Rommel, Doenitz, Goering, and Guderian, we will also read about mid-range generals like Sepp Dietrich and Kurt Meyer, and lower-ranking warriors like Hans Von Luck, Siegfried Knappe, and Bernhard Rogge. Famous German units like JG 26, warships like Tirpita, Bismarck, and Scharnhorst will be followed, as well as some unique ones like Atlantis, Pinguin, and U-505. There will also be a lot in the books on the German home front, and how the average Germans coped with war abroad or shortages and bombing at home.

Consequently, my book, “World War II Plus 75 – The Road to War,” is now available as of this instant, from the Smashwords Premium Catalogue, at the weblink listed below, for $3.99. The first volume is 850 pages, and future volumes will cover the war in a day-by-day format, from September 1, 1939, to September 2, 1945, all based on my award-winning series.
