Other items in the collection related to WWII have been donated or removed from the circulating collection and cover all aspects of the war, though primarily about the European or Pacific Theatres.
Although the bulk of the books on this subject are in English, not all books were written from the U.S or British perspective; a goodly number of books have been translated from their original langagues. All non-book items are U.S.-centric.
Primary sources originate from the following countries (in no particular order): United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Japan, Sweden, Hungary, and Poland.
