In every meaningful endeavor, there are those who quietly and generously have contributed to this project—not for recognition, but out of shared conviction. These individuals are our Kindred Allies: independent historians, collectors, curators, and passionate preservers of World War II history who have offered invaluable support, insight, and encouragement along this enchanted journey.

Many times have we said that this old log book appear to have an ability to attract the most good-hearted people there are, and this project would not be what it is today without these kindred souls.

With deep gratitude, we recognize their contributions, their kindred spirit, and their ongoing efforts to ensure that the voices of the past continue to be heard.

In no particular order we would like to recognize the following and thank them for their invaluable contributions for which we are forever indebted.
