  2. This should be teach at schools, my education system failed me here in the Philippines it never thought me about WW2 let alone this biggest single event that turned the tide of the war.. From elementary to college back in mid 90s to early 2000s not a single chapter or lesson about WW2 is ever mentioned I have to learned that event from movies and documentary such as this one..
