New instance, new #introduction post. I'm an author of #MilitaryHistory and #TTRPG books, and I'm a #BoardGame player.
Most of my posts are likely to be about the #SecondWorldWar, the #ColdWar, and #RPGs.
I'm #ActuallyAutistic and #NonBinary, so might post or boost posts about those topics.

So the German Foreign Office issued basically the following statement on #May8th:
"Our historic responsibility for the Shoa- the betrayal of all civilised values- and the remembrance of the millions of victims of the #SecondWorldWar unleashed by #NaziGermany gives rise to our obligation to resolutely defend peace and corporate interest in #Europe today." 2/2
#OnThisDay in 1942, Admiral Syfret accepted the formal surrender of the French forces in Diego Suarez. The next day, Churchill sent a note to 29th Independent Infantry Brigade, whom he had observed in training some months before. He wrote, "I was sure when I saw you at Inverary nine months ago that the 29th Brigade Group would make its mark."

#OnThisDay in 1942, the Allied invasion of #Madagascar began on the west coast. The defenders there were unable to report this to their higher command because Percy Mayer, an #SOE agent, had cut telephone cables.
I'll be giving a talk about the invasion at #WeHaveWaysFest in September.

"We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing..." (Churchill, on VE Day)
The 8th of May will mark 80 years since Victory in Europe was declared, after a back-breaking, titanic struggle by the generations who came before us, to crush the horrendous evil of the Nazi regime.
History to be remembered.

Some is very difficult content.

The Battle of Stalingrad (now Volgograd, July 1942 to February 1943) was an attempt by Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) to control the USSR's access to the Caucasus oil fields. #History #RedArmy #SecondWorldWar #SixthArmy #Stalingrad #WWII #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2696-en/
An Author Help client recently sent me a photo of her dad reading A Ray of Light. Apparently, once he'd finished it, he told her and her mum the story.
I wrote it to spread awareness of #Lidice and the North Staffordshire miners, which I think deserves to be much better known. So it's heartening to hear of someone reading it and then telling the story to others
