Event 8

I've been watching the tv show documentary 'World War II in colour', that's been on Prime for a while now and shows real footage from world war two.

I find it very interesting, but it's also sad. I think it's amazing how people have been able add colour to the black and white film that was taken, it makes it much more clear about what was happening I think. Another thing that astounds me, is how much actual footage was taken during the war, and then how the producers of this show managed to find all of it.

Even though to some people it may sound boring, I find the whole history and story of what happened during the war very interesting. I think that seeing the actual footage put together effectively and having it all explained, makes it much more interesting than if you were just to read it.

The show tells everything, the decisions made, the mistakes, all about the leaders, the countries, each different weapon, strategies and more. My great Uncle was in the war, so this also makes me remember him.

It's terrible how many people died during the war, and astounding the number of ships, tanks, planes and people they had. When they say how many people died, the numbers are huge.
What also amazes me is how one man, Hitler, can start so much and can be responsible for so many deaths. It's not finished yet, and I look forward to seeing the next episode.
