In 1965 a series of books were released on the 20th anniversary of WW2 victory. I read some, and then managed to talk about them with some veterans including one who stormed Normandy beaches, and one who fought across Germany. (My parents were both in the war but had never really mentioned it). For a time I read every book I could find on those battles and that led to reading about earlier wars, and eventually to general history, in particular European. By that time I realized that context was everything and that the individual factoids served more as placemarkers to keep the events in order. TP
