wow... just brutal what those lads went through.. and if that wasn`t bad enough everyone had to do it again 23 years later.

edit: guy below, yeah you`re right.. and the cycle continues with one major war every 20 years or so. It`s just sad to see humanity can`t or won`t progress to something better where we can just stop fighting...

^ the second WW was fought over the whole world involving most nations, but at least we had learned that you can`t just march en-mass straight at the enemy by then. Things like "suprise" and parachutes had been discovered.
