Default WWII: The Last Heroes

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/w...ast-heroes/4od

Anybody been watching this? Tonight's episode the first one I've seen (wife is out and so X Factor hasn't taken over!). I'm now going to watch the rest on 4OD.

Very powerful bit of programming. It makes you wonder what de-humanised the German officers in charge during WWII, to the extent that they would choose to commit war crimes of such atrocity.

Yes, I've been watching, very good programme.

In answer to the question, who knows? In war there is wrong on all sides, and it must remembered that history is written by the victors.
