World War 2 Documentary

Picture of the Day for 8/23/2014. My niece Chantal informed me that she was coming over to my house tonight while her husband was in the neighborhood at band practice. Okey doke. 

Chantal and I share a fascination with World War 2 history so she brought over a History Channel documentary that she owns and I've wanted to see. It's called the Third Reich and documents the rise and fall of Hitler's empire. What I find so haunting about it is the home movies that make up a lot of the footage. I wonder who these people where and what their lives were like. This is a complete cliche, but the home movies bring history to life in a way that regular news footage can't.
