This documentary about the Australian rats of Tobruk is one of the best films of its kind. Wherever they went, the Australians were some of the best, toughest soldiers, in both the first and the second world wars .

I enjoy true unvarnished history and I'm proud to be an American. Camera people on all sides took a major risk to bring these films and images out of the battlefield and don't get enough credit.

What a story of the SS Ohio. Sounds like that would make a pretty good movie.

Erwin rommel wasn't in charge of "hitlers bodyguard" that would've been Heinrich himmler of the ss idk where they got that from

[janiceduke]

IMHO best British general during the war was William Slim.

If anyone had known the horrors of Japanese captivity no one would have surrendered. Ever.

The Kohima battle brings so much thankfulness as a Dutch believer in Christ. War is a crazy thing caused by the devil but what the Brits was faithfull ressistance and when everything seemed lost the mighty Lord Jesus send in reinforcements to relief them. Thank you Jesus. Forgive our enemies then my Lord Jesus and bless the Britshs fighting for us to in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

Dommage pas en francais et pourtant très bien expliqué

[ronalddesiderio]

When there blowing the RRX and German officer is walking casually with walking stick as two soldiers were ducking and wincing 😂very telling. The officer had enough. Just no emotions.
Didn’t care if he lived or died
