elaynaI've watched the first 5 episodes of 'WWII with Tom Hanks' and am very much enjoying it. The historical footage is fascinating to see. I studied WWII several times in school, though only as part of US or World History, and of course it's been the basis for a lot of movies or TV shows I've watched. Nice to get more understanding on events I sorta know about. It's on The History Channel and already aired episodes are available for streaming. And it even lets me fastforwarded thru the ads, always good.
(It covers Hitler's attack on France thru the Maginot Line, which I recognized as a term I knew, it was good to understand what it was. Then I saw a Tumblr post where Steve Rogers uses the term when discussing the locations of Hydra bases. Is that where I know the term from? Or had I already heard it back in 5th grade history and remembered it when I first saw CA:TFA? Who knows? But I was amused.)
