I am in the process of writing a book about individuals who for better or worse played a role in World War II but have been for the most part overlooked by history.
These are people good or bad who in some way should have made a mark on history.
Some examples include:
Dr. LTC Harold Alexander - Discovered that many of the deaths following an air raid on Bari, Italy was as a result of mustard gas stored on one of the American ships which was hit by the NAZIs.
Jimmy Baker - Enlisted in the Marines at age twelve. Later discharged.
Paul Carbonne - Corsican criminal in Marseille, France who collaborated with the NAZIs in exchange for protection of their criminal enterprises.
Paul Cole - British Thief, Con-man and deserter.
Velvalee Dickenson - American who was convicted of spying for the Japanese
David Frankfurter - Best known for assassinating Swiss NAZI Willhelm Gustloff.
Werner Goering - Nephew of Herman Goering who was an American bomber pilot.
Yoshiko Kawashima - Manchu princess who served as a spy for the Japanese.
Stella Kubler - Jewish woman who assisted the NAZIs in rounding up Jews.
James Monti - American pilot who defected to the Germans and later served them on propaganda broadcasts.
Sean Russell - IRA Chief of Staff who worked with the Abwehr.
Anyway I think you get the idea. My request is that if anyone who reads this can think of any names to add to the list or reference materials that may be of aid I would greatly appreciate a reply.
This is just a small taste of the hundreds of names I've collected and only very brief examples of the biographical information I have on each. Anyway any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
