From the upcoming documentary, "Kurt Vonnegut: Unstuck in Time," this sequence covers how Kurt Vonnegut wound up in Dresden, Germany as an American POW, prior to an unexpected air attack by Allied forces. What happened next would forever change his life and provide the basis for his groundbreaking 1969 novel, "Slaughterhouse-Five," which would place Vonnegut squarely on the world stage as one of the 20th Century's most innovative and popular authors. ©Whyaduck Productions.

Can't wait to see this. My dad had PTSD from WW2 in Europe also. I read 8 books by Vonnegut, most in high school (1967-71), but others after. And I reread some 20 years later. A total joy of a writer, even in sadness. Especially in sadness. Thanks. RIP.

Except they didn't understand it at the time like we do now. Back then it was just "combat fatigue".

@@thekidfromiowa I get the vibe soldiers understood it. I was reading Ernst Junger and he was talking about how any soldier from world war 1 would understand the feeling of jumping from the sound of a train or car backfiring

They understood very well bombing could cost you your mental health. But this was something apocalyptic. You could see it, but your brain could not process/comprehend it. It was like a TRUE hallucination. We now have children born with extreme (genetic) PTSD from an apocalyptic MEGA trauma.

Such a majestic landscape Dresden was!

History going down - - twice. Dress rehearsal for napalming Vietnam - - and genesis of one of the greatest writers of any century answering 'poo-te-weet?' in Dresden AND Vietnam with a novel that raised the bar and smacked it out of the ballpark. (I think I just inadvertently made him sound like a sports writer, but you know what I mean.)

To think Kurt already had trauma before he deployed having lost his mother. Trauma on top of trauma.

Billy Pilgrim was down in a meat locker when Dresden was destroyed.
