The site hosting this blog will be down for awhile today so I wanted to clear up a question I received via email from a number of readers. Each email told me that they were unable to leave comments to the Posts at the link at the bottom of each daily Post that says "Comments". I, being a relative novice at this process, discovered yesterday that I had inadvertently limited the ability to leave comments to only registered subscribers to or followers of the "War Watch" blog.
This has now been changed and anyone can leave a comment to any post whether the most recent or any past post which you can find by scrolling down the main page or in the Archives Section in the right hand column.
We encourage comments for several reasons. First, we would love to have input from others who were involved in any phase of World War II, and particularly from those men or family members of the men who flew in B-26 Marauders; were involved in the May 14, 1943 or May 17, 1943 Ijmuiden Missions; or spent time in Stalug Luft III or any other Stalug Luft prisoner of war camp. We would even welcome the opportunity to post your own personal recollections of a specific event. Simply make that request in the Comment section we will contact you.
Second, as we work our way through he volumes of letters home from my father, the German and American documents "tracking" his journey through the War and the resource material we have received from many helpful sources, particularly from Michael E. Smith at http://www.b26.com/, we want to make certain we correct any errors that we may make.
Finally, we would love to have ideas about any particular part of our father's story that you would like learn or hear more about.
Thank you all for your patience. We appreciate your interest in and support of "War Watch". If you still have problems leaving comments please email us directly at rickhoel@yahoo.com.

Hello Rick,
I'm glad the thing about the comments has been sorted out.
This blog is a good chance for us to learn more about Jim's story. Of course, my father and I have been closely involved in the watch story, but now we get to read even more details we didn't know of. So, the effort is very much appreciated this side of the ocean.
Not until I read this blog did I actually realize how good of a story this is that could touch the hearts of many around the globe. After all, the synchronity of the many events described here is astounding, and not without a good sense of irony. It provides a sense of interconnectedness with the currents of history - how the ideas and intentions of men that lived some generations ago still add to the causal chain affecting people in the present.
I have the blog bookmarked so I'll be faithfully reading every new post.
Kind regards,
Dennis Prooi
I figured you wanted editorial supremacy. Glad to see you're simply a technology slug. Gil "son #2" Hoel
