I've been reading and watching television programs on World War II since I was a kid. If I watched a show or movie & had questions, I got sent off to research. So, at least 40 years of being fascinated and learning. While I am interested in the actions of British, American, and other nationalities during WWII, I am most interested in the Canadian experience in the War.

Operation Jubilee (if my father hadn't been badly injured by a parachute bomb shortly before-hand he would have been there; his battery the 16th battery 3LAA was the only artillery unit to go to Dieppe; he recovered to serve NW Europe)
Normandy: Caan, Falaise Gap
Holland/Belgium: Antwerp, Battles for the Scheldt, Bresken Pocket, Gronigen, Nijmegn Salient
Westerbork Concentration Camp
The Holocaust
Military Intelligence: Camp X, Enigma/Ultra, Bletchley Park, William Stephenson
Hochwald Forest
Civilian Life WW2
Effect on lives during and after World War II
The Pacific
First Special Services
First Person accounts, such as George Blackburn's trilogy of life in the Canadian Artillery

Also, interested in all areas and time periods of history. Currently reading Terry Copp's Fields of Fire" and Dennis Whitaker's "Tug of War" both about Canadians fighting in NW Europe. In the wings waiting is "Cinderella Army" by Terry Copp.

Slightly o/t but I can say 'snap', macrusk - I'm also reading Copp's book right now and enjoying it very much. Have also just finished Reid's 'No Holding Back'.
