I was never under the misinterpretations that there wasn’t information or interpretations of atrocities. I do understand, however, that there is a big, big difference between being able to do something substantive about it versus just letting it all hang out.

That generation fought the greatest battle ever fought on this earth and on so wide a scale that it boggles the mind, and they did their absolute best to overcome the worst humanity could offer in that in my opinion.

Because something is released now that tells a “couch version” of the ‘story’ for those today who most don’t even know who Hitler was is immaterial.

Well said, Gaffer. All my men relatives fought in that dreadful war and came home with scars to prove it. They did the best they could with what they had. It’s time people moved away from blaming America and pointing it squarely at the people who committed the atrocities. All the rest is just noise - and perhaps to fill the coffers of some liberal organization, lol.

we were fighting two wars....the Atlantic and the Pacific....we had our hands full, not to mention we had suffered a bombing as well on our own land....

besides the evil minds who orchestrated this, it also was the blame of the sheeple who carried out the genocide....and of course lets not forget the compliant Jews who went along with this and helped the Nazis in one way or another ....Soros....who is still allowed to live...

Exactly!

Take a trip to Bastogne and look down the endless rows of crosses; visit the Pacific Islands and experience the malarial battlefields; march to Bataan and imagine the sickening atrocities committed along the trail; sail to the Aleutians with only a field jacket a a couple of wool blankets to keep you warm; take a side trip to Attu and contemplate that the Japanese truly fought to the last man; stand on the escarpments in the beautiful Alps and see the battlements that still remain; wade the beaches of Normandy and color the surf red in your mind; tour North Africa in a car without air; and study the attrition rates of the 8th Air Force (upwards of 50% for much of the war). When you’ve done all this, you’ll have 1% of a clue, because it was all done in relative safety.

The bloody slog to Berlin was won with a total effort on the Allies part; everyone gave their utmost. All the Hollywood epics with the greatest special effects ultimately fail in their attempts to capture the horrors endured by the soldiers. What more could have been done?
