Hell-On-Earth - first hand testimonies of WWII

I suppose it's more realistic now, (I'll leave it for others to judge), but in my own youth, the description of the War was often so bleached and painless, in print and in film, as to be pure fantasy.  I'm always glad to see the truth about what combat is really about and the terrible costs.  People need to be realistic and wide-eyed about the whole thing.  Its' not a nice thing, and should be treated as such.
