At War so the horrors of the Holocaust and Hitler were not far removed from our conscience. I wonder if most people under 30 can even identify who was fighting who in WWII. Off topic, but family legend says my father's first cousin was with Patton during the war. My father always thought it was an exaggeration but his cousin who was the first host of Entertainment Tonight type show traces his father's movement during WWII and found a picture of his father standing next to Patton with a rifle with a google search. It's part of the Getty collection. So the legend was true. Just thought that was interesting.
