“The Outsider” - Decades before ‘Flags of our Fathers’ this 1961 film follows Ira Hayes from basic training, to Iwo Jima, and the years following the war. Gain an appreciation of Ira’s demise as survivor’s guilt is thrust into the hero’s spotlight.
Hidden Gem: One of the best accounts of just how happenstance the second flag raising was.
WW2 RPG Forum

Hey everybody.
I just wanted to let my fellow A&A fans and any would-be writers out there about my RPG forum I’ve got.
It takes place JUST as the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, and people play as officers in either the American, Commonwealth, or Japanese navy and armies and command flotillas, units, and air wings. Beside that, they develop their characters as the war continues, not to mention, and in stride with Axis and Allies, it does not follow the traditional branch of history – but rather events unfold as the commanders feel.
What if the Japanese won at Midway?
What if the Americans never invaded Guadalcanal and instead took back the Philippines in 1942?
Here’s the site, check it out. Thanks!
