– Nick 

As the app is now officially on the Google Play Store, I will continue developing the app. 

If you have any feature request for the app, make sure to share them here! I'll look at every feature request and implement as much as possible. 

The next update will bring notifications, so you immediately know when a new article is published. I will try to expand the notification system in the following updates by also adding notifications for the forum community. 

🎖️ Launch Celebration
To celebrate the launch, we're also offering 20% off Field Command memberships, on both monthly and annual plans.

Use code:

WARCOMMONS2026

The launch offer runs until September 21, 2026.

This is a major milestone for WarCommons, and it would not exist without the people who have supported the project and helped shape it along the way.

And this is only the beginning.

More articles. More discussions. More features. And soon, notifications to let you know when new WarCommons content goes live.

Thank you for being here.

Here you will get a more in-depth look behind the scenes. 

Saturday September 5, 2026, we will publish a new article for the Field Command, the paid members section of the website. The Field Command Sitrep is a look into why Hitler never actually used poison gas or other nerve agents during the war. During World War I Germany even pioneered and scaled up large-scale (lethal) gas warfare on the battlefield.

Some of the reasons may actually surprise you! I was quite surprised to read how Hitler himself felt about this.

For the past year or so, majority of my research has focused around my great-grandfather, S/Sgt Pasquale Cichino, who served as an armorer-gunner with the 373rd Bomb Squadron, 308th Bomb Group in China. What started as an attempt to understand his personal military service has grown into a investigation much larger than I expected involving crew records, mission history, aircraft, decorations, photographs, wartime documents, and firsthand accounts from the families of the men he served with.

I recently discovered WarCommons through a connection with Nick on LinkedIn and decided to join. I’m looking forward to meeting other WWII researchers and historians, sharing what I’ve uncovered, and hopefully learning from everyone here as well.

Looking forward to being part of the community!

By sheer scale, attrition, and strategic impact, this is clearly the biggest deciding factor on the war (But not fully as Japan wasn't involved) It absorbed and destroyed roughly 75% to 80% of all German Wehrmacht casualties, effectively breaking the back of the Axis war machine. But sheer scale and casualties is not always easy to calculate. Obviously most deciding campaign is Operation Barbarossa and it's failure to bring quick victory and start industrial scale of war of attrition. But what do you guys think? Eastern front perhaps deserves it's own topic too

This is the place for general conversation between WarCommons founding members.

Welcome aboard, Founder.

Spark to WWII came from seeing Saving Private Ryan as a kid probably 10 or so, watched it in secret after bedtime.  That tiger tank was so cool! Albeit as a kid I always thought it was a Sherman tank but heh, don't think they really told what tank it was in the movie properly.  My family of course got ties to war as we fought Russia in WWII. Winter war and Continuation war and Lapland war. From my dad's side 10 brothers went to war but only 3 came back. Not much really was talked or passed down to my generation, sort of don't speak thing. And now everyone dead. So I don't know details sadly. Someone told me my family may have had 1 of those 10 take part in Waffen-SS (the one finnish send) but no idea if that's true or not. Probably when my parents die I will do family history search. Until then it's just history without details :)
