  1. Thank you, V-Girl, for posting these videos. I have always liked to watch old WWII footage/documentaries since I was a kid. It is very troublesome that many do not have an appreciation or sense of history, recent and ancient, in how the sufferings and tribulations of those in the past have allowed us to have the society we have today. My fear is that the historical amnesia of today will lead to the conflict of tomorrow... a tomorrow that is rushing in fast.
