shot on omaha beach in 25mph winds, a lucky moment between rainstorms. after a week of tours in the region, i’m deep in the WW2 rabbithole. what are the best books, movies, podcasts to appease my obsession? https://i.imgur.com/h1dZmOX.jpg

Books: The First World War and The Second World War by John Keegan ( I think one need study First World War to understand the second ) Movies: Saving Private Ryan Dunkirk The Imitation Game Darkest Hour Schindlers List Valkyrie Enemy at the Gates Letters to Iwo Jima Flags of our Father

it’s easy to forget how close the world wars are… amazes me that Germany rebuilt itself to be a world power in the span of two decades. adding all of these to my list! I’ve seen a few already. which is your favorite?

I would say Saving Private Ryan. The first 15 mins were like so realistic. And covers the human aspect well too
