I watched part one last night on the PBS channel. Very interesting. The U. S. was very ill prepared for the WAR. The boys started out with WWI equipment and not much off it. If it had not been for the mistakes that Japan and Germany made we would surely be speaking Japanese of German. The arrogaronce of the Mayor of New York and the costal cities would not black out the lights. They were afraid that the cities would lose money from the tourist trade. The German U-Boats would set outside the cities and torpedo the ships. I think there were over 200 sank in one year. The shipping channels all along the Alantic and the Gulf were dangerous. The U-Boats were off shore from Galveston. The soldiers and sailors went through hell and then came back and won this war.
