World War II Database

Today is WW2DB's 18th anniversary. Here's a quick snapshot of the site's content as of this date:

• 1,124 biographies (+11)
• 334 events (+0)
• 40,918 timeline entries (+1,152)
• 1,196 ships (+30)
• 344 aircraft models (+5)
• 203 vehicle models (+11)
• 368 weapon models (+5)
• 123 historical documents (+2)
• 248 facilities (+19)
• 468 books reviewed (+4)
• 28,686 photos (+626)
• 395 maps (+30)
• 24,334 visitor comments (+677)

On the social media front:

• 147,224 Facebook likes (-2,823)
• 33,588 Twitter followers (+2,833)
• 552 Reddit subscribers (+95)
• 17 Patreon supporters (-3)

As WW2DB matures, we find that there are less "exciting new features this year" type of content in these anniversary messages, but rest assured that our passion in the project has not waned, and we continue to add more content to the site on a frequent basis. One statistic from above that reflects this is the timeline entries - I dare say that by surpassing 40,000+ records in this particular database in 2022, WW2DB may be among the largest of the "on this date in history" type of websites.

The WW2DB team wishes you a happy, productive, and a healthy new year! Thank you for all your support, whether it is simply visiting WW2DB regularly or supporting us financially on Patreon, and thank you for sharing our passion in history.

I believe that there were five new aircraft reports in 2022 (not +3 as stated). Two from Japan and one each from Germany, USA and United Kingdom.
