UDP Multicast between two sockets in the same process?

This most likely is a race between your sending and receiving threads - you send the first packet before the receiver joins the group. This explains why it works with a timeout.

You may need to enable loopback mode on the socket.

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.
