Sorry, but further north, half way between Escondido and Palm Desert areas. Did spend the summers there when I was little. Dad use to work all over San Diego and I did enjoy my summers there.
Mission Beach area was one of my favorite areas. Miss it. Now in the Dakotas.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
