My dad was 17 when he enlisted in WW2 and only went because his two older brothers were there. My uncle was shot down over Guam by the Japanese and never found he was in the Navy on a destroyer. My other uncle was in the Army and the crazy bastard did two tours. The first time in 1940 and the second time in 44. My dad went on to serve in Korea and twice in Vietnam. The person who came back wasn't my dad not anymore!

Italy wanted to recreate the Roman Empire. Where did it choose to invade? Ethiopia 😂😂😂

In a courtroom David Irving said, “if the soldiers that stormed the Normandy beaches in June 1944 could see England as it is today they wouldn’t have gone 40 yards up that beach”.

It seems like everyone forgets how difficult and resource-draining occupation is. The Germans ended up having to have at least one occupier for every 10 Norwegian citizens. The quality of the occupation soldiers in France was very poor by D-Day, further ensuring an inevitable Allied victory.

It is sad that this docuseries had to block anything considered inhumane or unsightly due to Youtube's policies. War is disgusting and should be seen by everyone as it was

That transition from Germany to Japan was smooth🔥🔥🔥

This was the best ww2 doc on tv 10 yrs ago I use to watch UT on military channel

[peterKempster]

If you took out the ads, it would only be 2 hours long, 5 ads in 15 minutes. I've got better things to watch

[haydenwhite]

Pretty disgusting to have a mid roll ad every 5 minutes and your own ads as well. If you’re this greedy entertainment isn’t for you

[rommel]
