World War II romance...

[snooper]

... Having said all that, hopefully what I'm about to say won't start some flame war between me and you. ...

Can't be done, sorry. I've been insulted by real experts and nobody on here has come even close to goading me into a flame war, not even Tiggs.

GOT THAT? GOOD! <joke>

... If your old man came back from the war and continued to lump all Germans into a derogutory catagory ... I'd be interested in your reply,
doc

It wasn't only him; everyone knew that it was true. All Germans were sadistic killers of innocent women and babies. It had to be true; after all they elected Hitler to power. Thus I was taught for the first seven or eight years of my life, by teachers as well as family and (adult) friends.

In my own experience of the military, we held no great understanding of our enemy, and when someone shoots at you, you shoot back and with deadly intent. If you hear a scream and a gurgle and a thud, you think, 'Good. One less, unless the tricky bastard is faking it.'

Having said that, we would not have dreamed of torturing a prisoner for fun.

Okay, here's an idea for a story I was thinking about writing somewhere down the line...

A Marine private about to be shipped off to war. The sexy older woman, the wife of his landlord. They have a night of passion before he goes off to boot camp, where the youth looses his virginity... now, he feels like a man, going off to fight a man's war for his country.

After three years of fighting and seeing a lot of his friends and comrades dying in the Pacific Theatre, an older, gruffier, less optimistic Sergeant continues to fight for his country.... though he is embittered by all the killings.

He has orders to see a beautiful nun, Sister Mary, back to the USS Valiant after she is found in the jungles of Taipan a the start of the campaign to take that island. The Valiant is a minesweeper in harbour... supposedly welldefended. It was to take her back to San Diego because it needed to reship and supply.

En route to San Diego, the convoy the Valiant is a part of is attacked by a group of Japanese Zero fighters and a collection of bombers... a couple of ships are damaged and two are sunk, including the Valiant... but the Sergeant and his charge are able to get off the ship. They pick up a nurse who was heading back to the States after she too had been found earlier on, in one of the POW camps on another Jap-held island in the Pacific.

There are no other survivors... the trio make it to a small, deserted island. The Sergeant is wounded pretty badly in the upper right leg while they were trying to get off the ship. The nurse and nun have to help bind the leg and set it in a makeshift cast... they have to hold his cock to the side so the nurse can get at the wound properly.

Over time, clothing becomes torn and tattered... unusable. They become more open with each other, and accustomed to each others' nudity. The nurse and Sergeant become lovers, then the nun, unable to fight against her own natural lust, joins in. They become passionate sex partners, with the two women willing and able to love each other as well as the Marine...

Thoughts, anyone? Suggestions, maybe? Thanks for reading

I have written several Period pieces set in and around World War II. One thing you will have to do is heavily research. If you want a realistic feel to a piece set in the era, you will need to be very sure of your details.

I can see some problems immediatly in your theoretical story. The taking of Tianian, Siapan and Guam, along with the naval actions in the area comprise what pilots called, the great Marianas turkey shoot. Mitchner's cariers, obliterated all Japanese airpower in the Marianas, both land based, sea based, and the reserve planes waiting on Iwo Jima. Japanese air power was nil after the closing of the campaign. So a flight of stray planes finding a convoy is improbable.

Next, the odds of survivors being left behind in a properly escorted convoy are again, near nil by this time, as the allies had enough Destroyers & destroyer escorts to wait and conduct rescue operations. So you are again stretching the disbelief of the reader.

A more probable scenario, would be to have your sergent slightly wounded in the Tinian landing. He could therefore, legitimately be expected to be onboard an auxilarry hospital ship. These ships were painted white, with bright red crosses and often sailed unescorted. Some were torpedoed by mistake by submarines. Most oculd make upwards of 20 knots. Therefore, you could place the slightly wounded sergent on deck, as well as the others you wanted and have the ship torpedoed or strike a mine. Those on deck could legitimately be expected to be thrown overboard and the ship, following wartime proceedure would not stop, or stay in the area.

95% of your readers will never heard of the Great Marianas turkey shoot, the temptation is to just write your story, but and in my mind it's a big but, as soon as you begin to take liberties with the history involved, you are setting yourself up to take other short cuts. If you are diligent in making sure your facts are correct, you are far more likely to relate the feel of the period to your readers.

Period pieces are a lot of fun to write, but they are research intensive and often the facts you want are so obscure they take time to discover. But in wading through the research material, you really do develop a feel for the period that makes writing it more enjoyable and easier.

Pardon my awful typing. I am not a very good typist in the best of times and right now I am on some heavy pain killers so it is if anything worse

Sorry I had to go out of town for two weeks filming and the location had no cell service. The hotel did but after 12-14 hour days I didn't want to do anything but sleep.

Good to hear I didn't piss you off. It so hard to know people, especially if you're like me and new to the board.

I checked out your profile and read a couple of your stories. Very nicely done. I especially liked "WASP". Even though you were sparing with the historical references they gave a great feel to the story, solidily placing it within historical context.

Would my recommendation of placing the story earlier in the war work? What was the tactical situation in the Indonesian island chain like right after the fall of the Phillipenes to the Japanese?

I agree. Recently I've been doing more and more period erotica. I'm doing a series about the decendants of the original Lady Chatterly, taking her daughters thru history and trying to tie them into historical happenings for a paysite. Kind of screwing their way "Forest Gump" like thru history. The research to pick up the historical actions going on during the period the stories take place can be great reading.

Thank you

Wasp was fun to write, I spent a lot of time with period slang and searching for uniforms, plane details etc.

I believe, you could place the story during the Solomons campaign quite easily. You have Japanese naval superiority, a war of attriton on Guadal canal folowed by the Bouganvill/cape glouuster invasions. Ships had to be sent singly or in small convoys with minimal protection, the Japanese had airfields within striking distance. And the solomons are full of small islands that would make good settings. Particularly attractive for the losing clothes element is the fact the islands are so wet and humid, Marines actually had their boots rot off their feet within months.

I get so caught up in research I end up on tangents to my tangents. But I majored in history, so I am easily side tracked

can i toss a pineapple into the trench here? ...see who jumps out.... lol

Hi guys,

lots of great ideas going on here... how about adding a CB//SEABEE fellow to the mix.... wounded leg and not able to move around much but full of ideas .... the MacGyver of WWII ... has the only usefull tool on the island....... NO -- not THAT (lol) ........ a SUPER SWISS ARMY KNIFE.

or

how about after a couple months a crippled P-38 fighter (my fav plane) crashes on the beach, and gives them the option of utilizing some materials from the crash to help them out of dyer straights... does the pilot survive... can he be usful in some way (a lawyer before enlisting -- lol) or does he die in the crash.... or is he just another wounded mouth to feed...?

 

[TheCaptain]

The ideas that were raised/talked about on this thread are all good concepts, and I really hope at least ONE of us can come up with a good erotic period piece set in World War II from this thread .

I just wanted to say that any and all ideas and concepts that I have developed in this thread are free to use... I have no intention of going through with this vein of story anymore, I'm afraid .

So... bump! USE THESE IDEAS, PLEASE!!!

Cheers, Lit-ers!
