About This Project

This website was created for Mike Paynter, a true WWII historian, Freemason, and remarkable individual who survived a near-death experience and now cherishes every moment. Mike's extensive knowledge of WWII, especially obscure facts and personal stories from the Normandy coast and beyond, inspired this collection of rare historical content.

His wife's pandemic journal now resides in the Smithsonian Library, demonstrating their commitment to preserving history. This site aims to provide Mike with obscure WWII stories, trivia, and heroic accounts that even an expert like him might not have encountered.
