There was a movie in 2008 call pashendale least we forget ... last 20min is a brutal muddy mess. It also has a heartbreaking twist with a Canadian-german family. The movie is awesome but pisses you off about the hell we can put ourselves in.

Very well made documentary.
ReplyDeleteYet another war the banksters dragged us into that American citizens had no business being in.
ReplyDeleteMy wife's grandfather, who I knew for four years, was at Passchendaele but missed the main battle there due to being laid up with a bad case of Impedigo from Sept 27 to Nov 10, 1917. He spent his combat time with the RCR.
