Book: D-Day Through German Eyes by Holger Eckhertz

| July 21, 2024

Have you ever started to read one of those book that you don’t want to put down? Here’s one: Holger Eckhertz published a two volume set from the viewpoint of German soldiers in “D-Day Through German Eyes” in 2016. It is a different perspective than most of us learn and view the events of June […]

How much control are you willing to give to the government?

| November 24, 2021

America has split down the middle on a lot of things that many of us took for granted just a few years ago.
