I liked the story from the guy who captured 18 nazis with a mine detector. LOL

I’ve been literally captivated by this TV series this week.

It’s truly stunning to watch. I’ve gained a different appreciation for what our heroes back then had to go through, and it has certainly given me a different perspective on what war is. A truly amazing TV series, I HIGHLY recommend everyone to watch it. I’ve been ‘DVRing’ every episode.

The modern day liberal history revisionist will say in a few decades that it never really happen, or that they will find some reason why Germany and Japan declared war on us and we deserved it.
Just like the Jewish Holocaust deniers.
Forgive me Jim Robinson for saying this, I don't usually cuss here and if you ban me, so be it... but, I am so sick and tired of the liberals crap and the Holocaust deniers and the modern day history revisionist.
GOD DAMM THEM ALL !!!!!!!

I listened to many stories from a soldier who was captured in the Philippines and survived the Bataan Death March as well as several years in a POW camp.

He told me that one of the things that sustained him through the brutal imprisonment is that every evening he and his bunk mates would get together and pray. He said somehow it renewed them and gave them the peace to sleep and the strength to face another day.

What has struck me is the sacrifice their generation made to keep America, and the rest of the Western World free. Today, we don’t know, or many of us care, about sacrifice. We’re beginning to learn because of what’s happening economically, and politically. But we have a way to go before we reach the level our ancestors endured. We’ve lost sight of how fortunate we are; and all because of what they lived without, and endured, so that we may prosper.

I’ve seen other historical films showing the Nazi concentration camps in the past. But never before have I seen them with this new and uneasy perspective. One wonders if we will some day be put in one of those camps like the Jews were. Hard to believe that the thought isn’t out of the realm of possibility these days. But that’s where we are...and so fast. Things have changed so damned fast.

The footage from the death camps was unspeakable, and I’m sure it probably didn’t do it much justice.

No one with a soul could possibly do that to another human being, or even an animal.

There are people in this world that would have that happen to us right now if they had their way. Always keep that in mind.....

When the series started this one expert was doubting that the WWII generation was the greatest generation because most of the soldiers didn’t know the geopolitical reasons why they were fighting.

I beg to differ; maybe those warriors didn’t need the geopolitical reasons but their love of country was sufficient reason to give their all. They were the greatest generation.
