What WWII-related forums do you visit?

Maybe im naieve...but i dont feel i need to go elsewhere...im MORE than confident with the breadth of knowledge already aboard...its a one stop shop, that in my opinion will garner acclaim in the years to come...more than a few are trying to create the ultimate database...difficult to beat this site already.

 

ww2f
ww2talk

That's enough to keep me on my toes !

Depends, I feel quite uncomfortable with new forums, there are different opinions and conversations you can't really just 'butt into', I feel like every forum, whatever the overlay or overhead discussion is, are just suburbs, if you're a kid from another town going into another place all willy nilly - you're going to have a bad time.

I visit histomil.com now, I like it. They have massive photo dumps. I feel the conversation here is alienated or dry, for now. Most conversations have branched out and been done to death while there's a search engine, it just isn't the same reading other's conversations rather than being apart of it. When I am engaged with the current thread, I feel that I learn more that way, whether you would describe that more hands on or personal, I feel I can cite that discussion better than what I've read a few pages of between two individuals I have no idea. Plus, I get quite lost in citations and arguments.

However I would probably would wanna get into an alternative reality site, or one that expresses some kind of RP elements.

That being all said, ww2f has been one of my homepages/tabs since I joined up in '06.

 

The main site I use is ww2talk
Just joined ww2f a few days ago and have enjoyed visiting a few times a day, although I haven't found any threads I feel I can contribute to yet.

HMVF's not specifically WW2, but often has good stuff on restorations, etc. I lurk rather than post, sort of like reading a vehicle magazine when in the mood.
Arrse's Military History section is worth a browse - regularly has good recollections/photos from Postwar chaps' experiences, with a solid smattering of WW2 chat in their own uniquely 'robust' style.

Quite often find myself following links into The Missing Lynx AFV discussions, and Landships can be a great read for WW1 & Interwar vehicle stuff.
Overvalwagen has a pretty readable subject specific forum too - got to admire the thoroughly covered niche interest.

And there's another one that slips my mind for the mo...

I've got a few that I keep an eye on. World War II Talk, Armchair General, WWII Chat and Axis History Forum. I tend to post only when a subject interests me and I feel as though I can contribute something to the discussion, so I need to have a number of sites to check out.

 

Mainly my home at WWIITalk.

 

This is the only WWII related forum that I visit regularly. As for other WWII related websites, I also spend time at NARA, CARL Digital Library, TankDestroyer.net, Veterans History Project and CMH.

I haven't heard of that "hyphen war" website that Biak mentioned, but I do use HyperWar which is an indispensable source for all things WWII.

Oh, I forgot. Biak got me hooked onto Fold3. Well worth the price of admission, but try to get it on sale.
