Introduction to WW2 | World War II Database
C. Peter Chen, is the founder and editor of World War II Database. The project started in the form of his personal notebook in which he kept notes and copies of photographs about WW2. With a relational database model, he was able to connect people, events, photographs, and other elements of history with ease, and the content of this database quickly grew. In Oct 2004, he began building the WW2DB as a public website for Lava to achieve two goals simultaneously: To share his notes with fellow military history enthusiasts and to showcase the technical capabilities of his consulting firm. From this initiative born the foundations of the website that eventually opened to the public on 28 Dec 2004.
