The best places to start, tips on exploring ancestry and a guide to the best websites. Includes one man's emigration diary - a one-hundred-year-old first-hand account of what your own ancestors have gone through. Written by an ancestral research expert.

    Winner, 2022 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Awards, Unit HistoryThis second volume follows on from the first in recounting the WWII history of B Company, 756th Tank Battalion in vivid detail. The outfit, since upgraded from M5 light tanks to M4 ‘Sherman’ mediums, claws through some of the toughest battles of WWII—from a horrific stalemate at Cassino in February 1944, through the bloody Operation Diadem May breakout, to the stunning capture of Rome on 4 June 1944.  This unique multi-volume history covers the full spectrum of experiences of the men in one tank company from inception in June 1941 through the occupation of Germany in 1945. An American tank company in WWII consisted of only five officers and approximately 100 enlisted men—all living, traveling and fighting in seventeen tanks, two jeeps, one truck, one half-track and one tank retriever. Uniting the official record with the rich, personal accounts of the participants, the reader is swept along a highly detailed and shocking journey chronicling the evolution of American armor doctrine and tank design from June 1941 through VE Day.  The B Company tankers often fought at a disadvantage—struggling to survive a myriad of battlefield challenges and triumph against enemy armor better armed and better protected. What was once envisioned as a warfare of sweeping armored formations managed by West Point lieutenant colonels and ROTC captains quickly devolved into small unit street fights relying more and more on the initiative, resourcefulness and cunning of lowly OCS lieutenants and combat-seasoned sergeants. The journey is long, unforgiving and brutal, and 47 tankers would be lost along the way.

    The Byzantine-Sassanid Wars were a series of conflicts between two of the most powerful empires of the ancient world: the Byzantine Empire, which was the eastern continuation of the Roman Empire, and the Sassanid Empire, the dominant Persian state in the region. These wars spanned several centuries, with periodic intervals of peace, but the conflicts fundamentally shaped the history of the Middle East and had profound implications for the future of both empires. 
    The Byzantine Empire, centered around the city of Constantinople, inherited the legacy of Rome after the Western Roman Empire fell in the 5th century. Under the leadership of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest territorial extent, but its eastern frontier, bordering the Sassanid Persian Empire, remained a volatile region. The Sassanid Empire, founded by Ardashir I in the 3rd century, was a formidable military power that sought to expand its influence in the East and to challenge the supremacy of Rome and later, the Byzantine Empire. 
    The conflicts between these two empires were not only territorial struggles but also ideological battles. Both empires sought to exert control over strategic regions, particularly the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. The Byzantines were primarily concerned with the defense of their empire and their Christian faith, which was a central aspect of their identity. Meanwhile, the Sassanids, who adhered to Zoroastrianism, viewed the Byzantine Empire as a rival both politically and religiously. This religious dimension added complexity to the conflict, as each empire sought to spread and protect its belief system.

    The Nazi party's rise to power in Germany during the 1930s is widely attributed to its leaders' strategic use of propaganda, most notably Adolf Hitler. Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and manipulating the masses to support the Nazi party's extremist ideologies, ultimately leading to one of the most catastrophic events in human history - World War II. This rise to power was not a sudden occurrence but a gradual process involving an extensive and sophisticated propaganda campaign targeting various aspects of German society. In this book, we will explore how propaganda was used to fuel the Nazi party's rise and examine how it gained support from the German people, including through symbols, slogans, and persuasive rhetoric. The consequences of this propaganda-driven rise to power continue to profoundly impact modern-day politics and how we perceive the power of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
