I agree, it is so much more heartfelt what happened back then. It tears at my heart to watch war movies. My stepdad used to watch documentaries all the time, as he was a retired Seaman. Sometimes I would watch it with him, and other times it made me really sad. Sadly he passed away 3 years ago, so I miss those bonding days.
I truly hope that the more these get put out in color, the more eyes it opens.
