Finished the 12th episode of the 13-episode 'World War II in Color'. Damn. Hate for it to end. Wets
the appetite for some more WWII documentaris.

That's about the most lucid and comprehensive documentary on WW2 that
I've ever seen. It was especially meaningful after just watching
"Dunkirk" last week. I also recommend "A Band of Brothers" if you've
never seen it - not nearly as comprehensive but really well done I
thought. B of B was especially meaningful for me because my Dad was
at the Battle of the Bulge. He was a surgeon at the field hospital in
Bastogne that was featured in one of the episodes (101st Airborne). I
still get choked up thinking about the hardships those guys endured.

"Band of Brothers" was great. Haven't seen "Dunkirk", but saw "Darkest Hour" last week. That is a
great movie. It fit well with "World War II in Color".
