Something I personally can suggest is(assuming you live in Europe) starting research about how your city was affected by WW2. I learned quite a lot about WW2 and the General time just by that. Great for this is your local Archive. They also should have primary sources.

Fantastic idea, thank you. I work out of some old airfields from time to time so no doubt they'll be a great source of information. Cheers for the advice.
