That chin. It is strong.
Your kid will make important decisions, someday.

On Grandpachat:
My dad's father was medic on the baltic front, primarily Norway and Denmark. He came back physically healthy, and not much that he talked about happened to him there.
My mother's late father was too young to be drafted, but as was mandatory, he was in the Hitler youth. Come the war's end, he was one of the displaced from Silesia, and around Christmas '45 arrived in a Bavarian village with a slice of bread and an small bag of sugar. He was smuggled out by some aunts to keep him from being drafted when the Nazis decided that children and the elderly were good cannon fodder.
My mom's grandmother's husband (mother's side) was a soldier in the war, but taken prisoner - he served under a fellow named Rommel, don't know if any of you know that dude. He was taken prisoner by the English, and ended up in either California or Florida, after the first battle around El Alamein.
The first husband of mom's grandmother (father's side) went missing as dispatch rider somewhere in Russia. Her second life partner - they didn't get a permission to marry - died in a concentration camp because he wasn't conformist enough.

A few other men in the family died over the course of the war as well, as is par of the course.

I keep reading RTW2 as Rome Total War 2 instead of Rule the Waves 2.
I guess seeing Grey bumble around as the Romans or something could be fun, too.

I rarely post, but you can have some money from me, Grey.

23 August 1945

My last report: Escort No. 75 disappears mid-voyage, most likely due to mines.

I think I started this project 15 September 1942 (2016) with the sinking of USS Wasp. This book has been on desk ever since. It's gonna be a little weird to put it away.

Thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to tell us about kabooms.

Thank you for the LPs, Grey. It'll be weird not to see the daily updates anymore.
