world war two-related stories
An HBO documentary about the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will air this evening at 7:30 p.m.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, occurring on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively, ended the second World War. In an era when many of the people who fought in --and were affected by the war-- are disappearing, expect to see more documentaries about WW II as filmmakers attempt to record survivors recollections for posterity.
One of the many stories left out of our history books
about World War Two is the heroics of the 761st Tank Battalion, a group of black soldiers that history forgot. But not
the History Channel. This month, presumably in honor of Black History Month, the History Channel is airing Honor
Deferred. Narrated by Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson, the documentary pairs historical photos and video archives
with interviews of the black men who served in the 761st. The men spent 183 consecutive days in combat, fighting Nazi
Germany and its allies. It comes highly recommended by
reviewers as an important piece of American history.
