Since 2011, I've reported "live" from the Second World War: posting the events of the war day-by-day on social media, as though they were unfolding right now. I've chronicled the events of 1939-1945 through photos, videos, and personal testimony. I'm trying to show what it must have been like to live through a unique global upheaval, and how it changed the world. The events of eighty years ago can have disconcerting relevance today.In the first six years of this project, I posted over 10,000 updates on Twitter and Facebook, charting the war from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the surrender of Japan in 1945. Now, I'm telling that story again, updated in line with the latest historical research, improved and with extra material. It's 1941 and the war is spreading to Russia and the United States of America. If you want to catch up, follow me @RealTimeWWII This is a one-person project, done in my spare time. I've never posted paid advertising on my channels or received any sponsorship. The support of people who enjoy my updates keeps this project going.If you want to help keep alive the memory of those who experienced the Second World War, and understand how it shapes our lives today, please join me as we re-tell the story once more.Alwyn Collinson, London
