The Channel changed from the Military Channel to The American Hero's Channel ,Ihave watched every one of the installments so far,i'm Not seeing Many United States Military WWII Heroes? Being an American,I want to see and Learn about American Heroes,Not Russian,British,Polish,Checz,Romania ,Chinese,Turkish ETC! This must be a British Production? You can almost smell it? It's all about anyone other than the Americans? They are Snobs and seem to think the U.S. had little or nothing to do with the Allies winning? I respect the fighting ability of the British,yet there was absolutely No Way they would have survived Hitler or the Invasion he would have perpetrated on them? Sorry so long,this Channel is "My Safe Haven" for accurate info on WWII. I just wish we could Do American Series on Americans and the Gigantic Contribution We made during that Aweful War?

I think a person in Germany at that time should all be charged with war crimes they all stood by and LET it happen.
