I never saw war, tho I lived in the Vietnam era when so many young men did. Oh, there was the 'Cold War' for which I have a thank you for participating, but IDK if I had the stuff of flying a Bomber in WWII like my 22-year-old Uncle Bob. His B-24 was shot down, but he and most of his 10-man crew survived. I also had an Uncle Bill, whom I never met. He died in the Pacific War a couple months before I was born, fighting Japs. He took out 26 of them before they took him out. He was 19 when he died.

actual ww1 footage enhanced and coloured ... and interviews/narration by actual soldiers (footage soundtrack is false but done expertly)

There needs to be more educational documentaries on WW1 and Korea.
WW2 and Vietnam get all the "glory". I feel like the average person doesn't understand how terrible WW1 was
