German history and Germany in general have always interested me, but I skip the 1937 to 1945 part. I read too much of that in the newspaper when I was a kid. When "the wall" went up, the Berlin Air Lift, began. That part interests me because General Clay, who ran that show, was a distant relative of mine. There were some great stories that came out of that period.
