Germans in the Woods

It's a little late for Veterans Day, but I just watched this two-minute movie, created by Rauch Bros. Animation in collaboration with StoryCorps, and had to share it.

Here's the summary from StoryCorps: "86-year-old WW II veteran Joseph Robertson remembers a German soldier he killed at the Battle of the Bulge."

Apologies if you can't view it in this post; try clicking the post title to link to the page where I watched it.

Hello, I'm Ryan Noel. said...

man, i was not emotionally prepared to see that. So much is said of the sacrifices that our military makes. This got me thinking that some of the memories these people take with them for the rest of their lives might be the greatest sacrifice.

Humbled.
