My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Hitler Had Plans for a United Kingdom Headquarters
From the feb. 20, 2012, NOTV. //// Had Adolf Hitler's plans to invade England came to pass and been successful, he had plans to set up a headquarters in the English Midlands. Top-secret plans called for Apley Hall, near Norton, in the heart of Shropshire countryside in the Midlands to be it. //// Apley Hall was owned by Major A.W. Foster, a decorated hero of the Boer War and World War I who had lost a leg in battle. //// Geographically, it was in the center of England and with an air base nearby. The invasion was set for 1940, but was scrapped largely because of the efforts of the RAF during the Battle of Britain. //// --GreGen
