This is a start... nothing much on Pacific right now since I haven't written on that. I can look for you if you want! This is something around half of what I've used for my research... didn't want to swamp you too much 😆 Let me know if there's anything else you need! I love research 😁 I'll probably add more here from time to time, so check back.
Important Note: Graphic Violence Warning on most footage clips. They were pretty careful about what was filmed, but just be careful. I've only seen the D-Day footage once... it was harder to handle than the movies... you know, once you realize that it's the real thing... not special effects and stunt actors, but real soldiers dying...
