Watching "The World War" on History Channel.

[Brigid]

In World War I, Hitler served as a messenger -- very dangerous duty. One day while carrying out his duties, he encountered a lone British soldier. The soldier raised his weapon; but could not bring himself to pull the trigger, so Hitler escaped. Even without that British soldier, why oh why couldn't Hitler have been killed in WWI, as so many of other Germans were?

2. This is new programming.

And it's not just about Hitler. It's about how the famous figures of WWII, like Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Mussolini, and FDR, were shaped by their experiences in WWI.

3. It was History, I usually watch History2

There are young adults who never knew who fought in WWI or II, and programs about the wars should be shown.

It was after WWI that most of the immigrants came from central and eastern Europe, after a those people met and loved our beloved GI's who went there...

I bet those still alive and their children and grandchildren have benefitted..

Actually, most young people don't know a thing about WWI - the war "to end all wars."
as it was called by the men who fought it...
