OK, this is probably a more complicated answer than you were after, but this is what I would do. I would build for myself a tiny Firefox extension which used an overlay to add a script into the windows which you are interested in, in this case the console window. The script would define anything you wanted in the context of this window, including your log() function.
When Firefox opens the console window, it will run your script in this context, making the function available to you.
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.
