    When I was 10 years old I'd ride my bicycle around the neighborhood and before i knew it i was doing odd jobs for a retired guy who lived a short bike ride away. I'm 54 years old now, and will never forget the kindness Fred showed me, and the value of doing an honest days work. RIP Mr. Mayer.

      The United States only supports democracy in foreign countries when the people vote for people who suite our interests. That's why we wrecked Ukraine's democracy back in 2014 by backing a Neo-nazy coup to overthrow their democratically elected neutral government. And we also overthrew the democratically elected president of Iran back in 1953 and installed the Shah.And then there's Morsi in Egypt and countless other examples. So America's support for democracy is nonsense.

No way are they going to risk their precious lives if they can’t even be brave enough to take a vaccination, and then protest not being able to travel or eat at a restaurant or to do what ever they want! No such people exist anymore. They knew what they were asked to do was almost certainly a suicide mission and not one of them flinched. That’s what people of honour did back then. Unimaginable that any people on mass nowadays can follow simple instructions with out finding a way to be individual etc. wether it’s for the greater good of all or not. It’s all about the individual. No one else matters.

Young people today are being indoctrinated brainwashed into hating our country. Taught that it was founded on slavery. Which is a lie! If it were not for America and it’s constitution and bill of rights. The world would probably be a horrible place to live for the average person.

    I had a cousin who worked for Naval Intelligence in WWII. He passed away in the mid 1960s but, before he did he told myself and my brother harrowing things that were done in order to win the war. I can very much appreciate what these guys did and how they kept on going when situations went from bad to worse. The Lord had to be walking with them. May Our Lord continue to bless these folks to the end of the age.

      What is even worse is the people who don’t believe the Holocaust even occurred! That, to me, is even more shameful. So many people survived to tell their story. If we do not believe, does that make them all liars? The 1200 or so people that Schindler helped save notwithstanding there are thousands of others. My sisters in law’s lost family. Those who survived the Holocaust and the children who were hidden and lost family all have stories to tell. The museum’s with clothing, personal belongings, teeth, skulls. A friend of mine whose husband was stationed in Germany went to one of the concentration camps. She said you could still feel the heaviness in the air of the people suffering. I believe she went to Ravensbruck. No, we cannot ignore this atrocity. If we do, we are bound to repeat this same behavior. That behavior is called hatred!

      Never mind that there were Nazi spies over here starting around 1937 /38 there were Nazi spies here in America not to mention Nazi sympathizers like Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh as well as groups like the German American Bund.

    This was great! I loved seeing the real men behind the movie.
    The movie is terrific, with the voice-overs and quirky, twisted humor. It's just a pity Hitler wasn't assassinated in one of the attempts on his life.
    The reason 'the American Jew from Brooklyn' was never questioned, is because he was wearing an SS officer's uniform. No one questioned the SS, and few even dared to make eye contact.
    Incredible men who deserve much more recognition.

      The Allies could well have done it without them, but a few hundred to thousand more people would likely have died fighting for the city. That may not sound like much in the grand scheme of things, where millions died. But an awful lot for such a small group of people to have accomplished.

    With the word “hero” thrown around for just about anything today more people need to see this story so that they can understand what true heroics are and who true hero’s are as well. Being called a hero because one is a teacher, Dr., firefighter doesn’t hold water to someone who is dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt organizations then when captured has a pistol stuck in his mouth and hit so hard his teach break on the barrel of the pistol, beaten more and still doesn’t give up names of those helping him. That is true heroism!!!

He was hospitilized for a year and a half and went back to the Pacific to fly again. They don't make many men anymore like them Godspeed, and bless you all.

Everyone in my generation is too busy making up pronouns, getting offended by nonsensical shit, calling everyone that doesn't agree with them a "racist" instead of having a - albeit tough - healthy debate/conversation, and then some. Also, I suspect a Nazi level threat coming soon. Very, very soon. This past year, I've buried my head in politics and history despite never being interested in any of those subjects all of my life.
