I don't understand what there is to be obsessed about. Or rather, what do you do? Study ever finer details of what exactly happened over the course of the war? To me it seems mostly "on this day some people killed some other people, and on this other day more people were killed".

Like it or not, wars make people think and co-operate in amazing ways.

We only got computers because of decoding efforts. The first rockets were used to destroy cities, and aeroplanes improved vastly because we were building bombers.

Heck, Napoleon invented canned food because his armies were too vast to live off the land.

Churchill said the only history is military history, and it's hard to disagree.
