WW2DB - an Interesting website

World War II Database: Your WW2 History Reference Destination

The website has quite a lot of info and photos. Although with a American bias, it is still interesting!

A tremendous resource however through the whole of the African campaign Australia & New Zealand was only mentioned once.

Australian troops were named as being at Tobruk! New Zealand troops were named as being there in 1940.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
