I started reading "Six War Years" last night and its quite good. Its an old hard cover book that i found at my grandparents, and its a collection of short stories usually around a page and a half about real experiences of Canadians during the seond waorld war. Keep in mind that its not just form the soldiers perspective but also through the eyes of children, parents, and others.
Some stories are really scary for instance there was this one about a unit killing thier own commanding officer. There are also some little interesting ones too. An example would be a stroy about someone that worked in a munitions factory making bombs and shells.
