There are a number of World War II historians I admire: Cornelius Ryan, Mark Stoler, Antony Beevor, to name a few. As for generals, there are those I admire as combat leaders and others I admire because they're great fun to write about.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich bewundere eine Reihe von Historikern aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg: Cornelius Ryan, Mark Stoler und Antony Beevor, um nur einige zu nennen. Es gibt Generäle, die ich als Kampfführer bewundere, und andere, die ich bewundere, weil es Spaß macht, über sie zu schreiben.

One thing that was amazing about World War II was that everybody signed up for the duration plus six months. Fliers got to leave combat after 25 missions, or 35 missions, but other than that, you were in it. You were part of the great effort, until, oh boy, six months after it was over.
