Capt Daniel Goodman 3321620 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was only hesitant to send them in as they do, I&#39;m afraid, get rather graphic and more than somewhat grisly in places. At the same time, I found them quite historically illuminating, though I certainly realized many on here might not esp! want to see fare of that sort, so, before sending them in, I thought I should ask beforehand, for what I hope are obvious reasons, many thanks... 2018-02-04T03:42:08-05:00 Capt Daniel Goodman 3321620

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As I was trying to explain, the videos involved, while of course quite real, I quite simply didn&#39;t know if I might unintentionalpy go over the line, in terms of individual sensibilities. Please understand. I only ask as a serious student of military history, which I of course know many of you are. If the videos were not as edifying as I think them to ne, despite the admittedly graphic and/or grisly nature of their content, I would not suggest them to begin with, of course...I just quite honestly think that, if all of you might care to see them, that they could perhaps offer a somewhat unique visual perspective on WW2 not conveyable by any other means I can perhaps as readily think of, that was my sole reason for asking. However, as I said, I&#39;ll wait before sending them, I realize my tastes, both historical as well as scientific, can at times seem more than a trifle oddball, that was why I thought, in this instance, that discretion was most definitely the better part of valor, you know? Many thanks, most eager for any thoughts and/or feedback....

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are aspects of War that are graphic by its very nature, I don&#39;t think You need to worry about hesitating to use any footage for that reason of if You think it may be just comment with a warning to that effect. I don&#39;t think learning the lessons of History is ever an undesirable thing and not all the lessons are pleasant and many We hope will not be repeated. I&#39;m more concerned with people who ignore the parts of History they don&#39;t like or trying to clean it up to the extent the story is no longer factual or at best incomplete.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I follow...that being said, should I perhaps send them in here, to start with, if onoy to try to test the waters, if you will, havingngiven that proviso in advance? Immean, rather than sendingnthem in for general consumption to the main app? I&#39;m just asking, of course, out of trying to be considerate, you understand...obviously. I have no wish to go over the line in terms of individual sensibilities, as I&#39;d said. He videos are all quite true, though in many places, they do go rather over the top, I&#39;ll admit...some are films, others documentaries, then I also found archival footage...reflect on what I&#39;ve said here, I&#39;ll wait for more feedback, OK? Trust me, they really are what I describe, quite grisly, though, as I&#39;d said, illuminating historically. believe me, I appreciate the desire to avoid revisionist history as much as anyone else might typically, it was just that the videos involved deal with aspects of WW2 that many on here might perhaps not find esp. appealing, for a veritable multitude of reasons, that&#39;s quite honestly why I&#39;m asking to such an extent before sending them in here...that being said, if all of you, incl any of the Adkins, might want them sent in here first, having explained them to the extent I have thus far, I can certainly do that. I can also preface them here with verbal descriptions of what they are, if you might all wish, as well, I of course leave that to all of you to decide, obviously...I found the archival footage esp. interesting, as, first, I hadn&#39;t known it was even on YouTube till I&#39;d found out t purely by accident, then, also, I was quite surprised YouTube even let it ne shown, given what it contained...one, for example, dealt with the Malmedy incident and its aftermath, duringnthe Battle of the Bulge. .another, a film, was a TV classic of Tue early 70smdealing with an admittedly painful incident that occurred in France in an American regiment, others dealt with an incident that happened to US troops in both Italy as well as elsewhere, along with things British and Allied troops saw as well...I just found them quite insightful in places, as well as quite revealing of historical truth I could quite honestly perceive no other way could possibly have been as accurately ducted, though, perhaps, shocking, certainly. As I said, I&#39;ll wait for more feedback, of course, many thanks, I hope that gives a somewhat more concrete perspective as to the content involved, much appreciated for the feedback thus far, certainly. .

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It does relate to such things, it does relate to actual footage of what really happened to the German war criminals, of course...also, however, there:s one film involving the whole incident of what happened to one US soldier in Europe, most especially, a singularly painful yet all too true incident, one of the nest TV films of the early 70s...trust me, this is about as graphic and grisly as that sort of stuff gets, yet all true, even if ad libbed somewhat in the film I&#39;d mentioned, though sparingly in that case. So, once again, if you all want to see it, I can send a few instances in here, since I prefaced what it would be, at least, in this posting...once against , I&#39;ll wait, give me more feedback, OK? It can wait, there&#39;s no rush involved, I&#39;ve waited this long, I can wait a trifle longer, certainly, many thanks for the thoughts thus far...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Admin, hi, I just figured I&#39;d send this on the off chance you might also see this. I&#39;d obviously use discretion in sending them in, of course...if you do see this, I&#39;d just be most grateful for any possible feedback, from alp of you in admin as well. as I&#39;d said, all of what I&#39;d found is true, and I&#39;m not meaning to belabor the point. I just didn&#39;t want to do something unintentionaooy stupid, at Tue same time as trying to do something educational, that&#39;s my sole reason for asking, OK? As I said, no rush, I can wait on sending them...I just never quite know where the boundaries are, and, though stuff I&#39;d send is all true, or based on truth, certainly, one never knows about individual human sensibilities, that&#39;s my only reason for being so cautious, so I just figured I should ask all of you, as well, for your thoughts, so far as you might provide them, before I&#39;d send anything, OK? Many thanks, I just wanted to obvioisly assure app of you, my heart is obvioisly in the right place, I just try to ne careful before sending in stuff like that, you know? Once again, many thanks, no rush....

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I really appreciate your sensitivity about this. Everyone approaches the subject in different ways; if it can “drive home” the “viciousness” of war, the “fragility” of life, and the “finality” of death without sensationalism, than I think you will have accomplished your objective. Personally, I’ll take a pass on this b/c I have enough memories and visions of death, gore, and destruction to last me a lifetime. Others may still be able to learn from your post.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would post a warning comment at the top. But, yes. We&#39;re all adults here.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I always try to give a warning at the top of the post. I also try to convey that one looks at their on discretion.
