An excellent series all about American paratroopers role in World War 2. I got this for Christmas after a recommendation from Niel while out in Poland.

Very well made, based on many true facts, characters and stories from survivors. Although hard hitting its been really entertaining until the penultimate episode where the truth suddenly hit home when they stumbled across a concentration camp.

I must admit to being hit harder by the reality of what happened, than by actually walking around Auschwitz. The most striking part of this was seeing and sharing the feelings with the soldiers who walked into this in oblivious…

Many people had said that Auschwitz would be as full on as it gets, but for me, the last 20 minutes of this episode seemed even more real.
