The Young pay attention to what is shown and taught to them. Boomers criticize the younger generations and look down on them because of the idea they had it easier. This isn't true. I was apart of the last generation to get to grow up without the internet, Experience the early days and how it is today and Gen Z have it the worst of any of the generations and its not even close. They are born into this world of technology that is nothing but Predators that use human nature & psychology methods to squeeze as much value as possible. 50% of them do not believe in God.... This combined with the internet is being ignored but its a crisis we are already beginning to see effects from.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t history at all…..it is the equivalent of cotton candy for lazy, passive learners. No matter how good documentaries are, history is far too immense to be jammed into 40-60 minute chunks of video, meaning that being spoon fed fluff about WWII via documentaries isn’t at all equivalent to a university education. It’s far too complex and huge a subject to be spoon fed to people devoid of intellectual curiosity, meaning that *you have to engage your brain and read books if you want to know about history.* So don’t blame your university professors for the qualities you lack….It sounds like your university education was an expensive waste of time for everyone concerned.

Most notably in the Pacific Theatre. The flag was raised in Iwo Jima if I'm correct before the war was even over, which was after the atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The losses on each side are never equal, so in cases of stalemates in battles, the side who lost the most in men and/or matériel loses. An example is the Battle of Leyte Gulf. And the chess analogy is so misguided, bc _there is no comparison to men killing each other on a wildly unpredictable battlefield, whether it on land, sea, air, or all combined._

I couldn't remember until I did a little research but I saw a great documentary series on Vietnam and it's "The Vietnam War" 2017 film by Ken Burns. There is another one from six years before but it's not as intense called "Vietnam in HD" narrated by Michael C. Hall. I think they're both worth a look for anyone wanting a little more understanding with great footage. This video was a good summary though. As time goes on, people forget how brutal humans can really be and miss atrocities in real time.

Obviously, tiny little videos like this can never get the mass of details you can read in one good book. I’m now reading John Eisenhower’s book on the Battle of the Bulge and it’s 500 pages long…..that’s only _one_ battle, although he’s given a good overview first! I’ve been reading books about the period from 1920-1946 for 35 years and I spot errors and missed points all the time…..the difference is, *I’m not going to point out errors and omissions bc I know such in-depth coverage is not possible in this format.* I’m here for the vintage film footage. What bothers me much more is the fact that so many people see a few documentaries on one battle-say, Stalingrad-and they think their knowledge is equal to people who’ve only read one book about it. It’s truly appalling.

Those battles were definitely the last "nails" in the coffin. Absolutely. The most important resources needed to win, man power and oil were lost. This absolutely solidified their demise. In terms of resources, I think the battle of Britain was the beginning of the end for Germany, due to the allies out producing them from that point on.

@@nickwood1062 The Allies did not out produce Germany until a little bit after America got into the war, say by the end of 1942, so that part of your statement is not even close. But, your point of it being a turning point is indeed the case because (1) it left open a two front war for Germany to defend, and (2) it depleted the Luftwaffe a measurable amount prior to operation Barbarbosa. In stopping Germany from invading GB, it also allowed the allies to heavily bomb Germany from 1942 thru to the end, which had a major impact on Germany's capability to wage war.

My main effort with my kids is to try to ensure they THINK FOR THEMSELVES and do NOT allow themselves to be hoodwinked by today's globalist MSM, and to arrive at their own conclusions about any subject that interests them.

@paigetomkinson1137 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with dad that it's underrated. I think though, that it unsettled the Japanese quite badly, just like the first bombing of Berlin did the Germans, since they'd been lead to believe that bombs would never hit them. Also, as everyone from the de facto Joint Chiefs of Staff ( precursor to the modern Joint Chiefs of Staff established in 1947), to the president, to the members of the military all knew that the U.S. needed a "win" in their column, and the Dolittle Raid helped. Between my thoughts, and dad's, it was a very successful raid.

It was due to this raid, that Yamamoto decided to force the US into a major naval battle and he picked Midway as the place. And we all know what happened there! The raid also boosted US morale quite a bit, which led to more money in the coffers for the war. This was possibly even more important!

That's a noble cause, but this isn't the way to do it. EVERYONE, including young people, should see the horrors of war in reality. They've (I'd) become desensitized to it on video games and movies.
