Related: the @RealTimeWWII project (https://twitter.com/#!/RealTimeWWII/) is an ambitious, and very compelling re-telling of the war. You really feel the tension, especially with the Dunkirk evacuation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_evacuation) just starting.
Personally, I don't think I could handle multiple daily updates for the next six years, but it's fun to check in with now and again.
