planeflyer21 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Pretty cool little photo essay. Just move your cursor across the photo and it will change from then to now. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/ng-interactive/2014/jun/01/d-day-landings-scenes-in-1944-and-now-interactive
Toolndie7 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 I can't even begin to imagine what these young men and women did and saw on that day and the next several months afterward....
unforgiven Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 AHC had a documentary on Chosin resevoir.called "Chosin" a real heartbreaker on the battle.Many lost feet and fingers due to frostbite.
98Z5V Posted June 9, 2014 Report Posted June 9, 2014 Frozen Chosin. Korea. June 25th is coming, right around the corner. June 25th, 1950 was the start of the Korean War.
planeflyer21 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Posted June 9, 2014 Mom's uncle was wounded at the Battle of the Bulge and later died from those wounds. Chosin was a major suckfest. Our men kicked some butt though!
98Z5V Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 Strange that this song just came out, and this video is presented. Badass song, but powerful, realistic movie. Worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DisTN-2x3EU&feature=kp
Rsquared Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 It may be well over ten years old now (the movie of course), but that's still one helluva powerful opening sequence depicting Normandy.
Toolndie7 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) It may be well over ten years old now (the movie of course), but that's still one helluva powerful opening sequence depicting Normandy. Ive heard that the guys who have been there said it is the closest to what really happened, but still not as graphic. The band of brothers series is also very good. Edited June 12, 2014 by Toolndie7
