Reaction to videos

Im actually not suprised that some people took the aniciative to actually learn. Im also not suprised that these women wanted to dream and get away from reality. I think it's wonderful to have people near you during a hard time, take an interest in the same things you do.
In another vidoe I viewed, an elderly man who was a liberator in the war, James Hayes, discusses the last 10 days of the German's fighting until they surrendered. He describes what he saw; The multiple casualties he knew were going to lead to a much larger spread of disease. He knew that the bodies had to be taken out of the area.
