Shooting War: World War II Combat Cameramen

Very good doc,,Well done

Shame it’s made out like America won the whole war by themselves, typical.

Are you kidding me? The whole primes of this doc is from US camera mens perspective. Where ever you are from where is your point of view?

I realise that, I just meant some of the things Tom Hanks says. Like saying ‘American’ and not ‘Allies’.

I feel as if my thirst for knowledge of this conflict will never be quenched. It will probably continue to be the most studied event in human history.

The lost souls of over 40 million people deserve nothing less than the attention of generations to come.

Almost 7000 American soldiers died in that Japanese battle yet only 27 medals of honour awarded? That is outright disgusting..

Tom Hanks calls this “immortality”?? What kind of immortality is it when you are dead and forgotten. War stinks and anyone that gets involved in it is a misguided fool.

Interesting that as we are immersed in WW111 we become nostalgic for the days when journalists weren’t imbedded. Didn’t make any difference to the warmongers, no matter how graphic the suffering and didn’t make any difference to those who voluntary conscript their lives away today.

Hitler ordered the destruction of Paris but the local German commander, von Choltitz — also known as the “savior of Paris” — refused to carry it out. The resistance cannot be cited as the factor that prevented Paris’ destruction.
I take the liberty of adding here that Steven Ambrose is a dunderheaded dolt.

they stated up front that it was from the perspective of American photographers and journalists….Tom Hanks thinks these men should be lauded for their war service……other countries have similar films that are from their own perspective……you have to get past the propaganda in any film…..and if you want a quick lesson on the way other countries skew things to their own advantage is to watch RT news on PBS…..it’s the Russian newscast…..very interesting…..
and realize tha it was a different world back then……very different….

After viewing the horrid carnage and the innocent and young victims, I am always astonished. Who would want to do this? The US Government is now the most prolific actuator of this mindless slaughter, and has taken extreme measures and utterly deceitful measures to a further continuance of the slaughter of millions. Listing the number of conflicts, most of which were against freedom and democracy in countries our corporations wanted as banana republic’s, could fill this page. Enlistment of the support and cooperation and participation of the American people in this diabolical enterprise is also just as astonishing. St. John of the Revelation also marveled, when he viewed the great whore and the beast. The Lord saith, Wherefore doth thou marvel. The mystery of the great whore is explained in the definition of the Abomination of Desolation. 3 major relationship made desolate by 3 abominations of which the great whore is mother. God to man, man to man, and the relationship of man’s spiritual nature to his physical nature. These relationship are made desolate by the beast, great whore and the dragon. These 3 are the totality of mankind’s life. There is nothing left to destroy of life, only physical godless existence remains. These are people who order these wars. They are elitists. The refined essence of the anti-christ is elitism. He will consider himself superior. The Georgia Guidestones affirm this purely demonic mentality or which most American presidents have been disciples of.

My dad was a 82nd Airborne P.O.W. in WW-2 and said he wished for no more wars because people or the countries should not have to go thru anything so horrible; it’s not what humans were born for.
