Live India TV showed a classic documentary on the World War 2 and the entire story as it unfolded.The actual real life scenes and the gory deaths and mass destruction with millions of innocent civilians, brave soldiers sacrificed.The property and money that must have been destroyed was phenomenal.The inflated ambitions and the egos that prevailed , the propaganda and the brave hearts who fought for global peace irrespective of the land they fought on or the country they served.The freezing cold, the desperate attempt to save themselves and their children digging trenches, fighting the cruel winds and snowfall were heartbreaking sights.The carpet bombing ,the turkey shoots ,the Kamikaze Japanese pilots sinking ships left , right and center making the ocean into a graveyard were simply disturbing yet a straight lesson for those who watched it.The nail in the coffin was Hiroshima and Nagasaki that destructed mankind for generations and the tremors are felt till date.It also showed that there were witty, brave and smart commanders who took up the tasks and executed them to near perfection.The results were devastating but showed that a man if he decides to pursue something can make the word impossible redundant in the dictionary.The engineering prowess Germany had in terms of communication, transportation,ships and U boats, Volkswagen and rail connectivity,and the battle tanks were fabulous innovations and did make a large difference in the battles that were fought.It again demonstrated the fact that USA which has a habit of interfering with most nations for their personal gains don't situp till provoked.For the first 2 years of WW2 they didn't blink an eyelid as the war was not fought on their soil and it didn't matter how many people were massacred as they were not Americans.Then came pearl Harbor and that spurred them up to step into the mother of all battles.Same was repeated when the twin towers were attacked only then the attack against Osama really sharpened.Till then it was all proxywar and on terrains like Af-Pak where it doesn't really matter.Japan and Germany demonstrated how a completely flattened and destroyed nation can come back to life and learn the lessons and rebuild a great nation.They were the first to put a stop to the nuclear arms race post the Japanese nuclear facility disaster recently.Yet we keep building weapons and nukes capable of carrying payloads and destructing the world at a touch of a button .What will we achieve?Here too we can show our technology prowess but for progress and not destruction.Hope we don't trigger any situation that leads to a WW3 because the destruction potential is million times great and the egos and stress levels of our leaders are stretched to the seams that can be hazardous.Have a look at this documentary its worth it.
