Old Doog pretty well wraps the model U-Boat in this video. It would be nice if company would make more WW1 era ships. Be advised Doog has a vey salty mouth.

Man with a Hollow chest. Story of ww2 Paratrooper. Present by the Grosse Pointe Library
David Lamb the Librarian at Grosse Pointe Library has continue is WW2 series on the history of this period.. I missed this one. Here is the story.
In this presentation we meet our paratrooper as a boy and follow him through a troubled youth ending with the WW ll draft, the grueling training of jump school, and assignment to the European Theater. Here he becomes part of the D-Day jump at Normandy and the battles to follow in France, Holland, and Belgium. Much of the story is told first person through letters home and later recollections of the war as told to his daughter. The stories of actual heroism in battles were told by those who served alongside him. These were the stories he could not tell. The stories that haunted him as the years went by. The stories he sent a messenger to tell his daughter only after his death. Written by Denise Hurd, with a contribution by historian, Mark Bando, this was presented at the Grosse Pointe Public Library on February 20th at the Woods Branch. This was Part 1 of 3 segments.
