Default Best learning resources?

What would you say are the best resources for learning about WWII? Are there any must-read books or websites, or must-see movies/documentaries? Maybe we can get a little collection going.

As a start, here's a couple of links to websites that I've found very helpful. I'm sure most of you probably know these already, but I thought this might be useful for others who are only just starting to learn (like me)...

http://www.worldwar-2.net/ - Info site that seems very comprehensive
http://www.ww2incolor.com - Tons of great photography here, really brings the whole thing to life
http://www.warwat.ch - Lots of free war documentaries, quite a few about WWII

Anyone else got any recommendations?

Default Re: Best learning resources?

I have been studying WW2 for over 30 years and i say this not to brag or anythi8ng but to say that i have seen most serious literature in the US on WW2. A good starting point to learn about WW2 is the excellent time-life book series from the 1980's that is available at most libraries. Because they segment the volumes into different aspects of the war it is a highly readable series. Some titles of the volumes are "War in the Outposts"; "Red Army Resurgent"; "Prelude to War"; and so on, i think there are maybe 20 books in the series.
