With the weather forecast not being conducive to outdoor activities this weekend, I figure to spend a lot of time watching WWII movies or series. I had some time tonight with my wife working late, so I queued up Tom Hanks' wonderful take on the Battle of the NorthAtlantic,2020's Greyhound. It was short enough to fit into my available time tonight, and I am glad I rediscovered this one. What an incredible depiction of the role of destroyers escorting merchant shipping with the U-boots hunting them. Very tense movie with very little fluff, a little bit at the beginning with his wife and then right into the action.

I am feeling some Band of Brothers and The Pacific for the weekend, although I will have to pick one to go with given how long each of those are.

I was just thinking it was about time for my Memorial Day week rewatch of "Band of Brothers."

me and my 2nd grader watched Red Tails last night. He loved it, because they were apparently discussing them in class this week so it made a real life connection for him.

While I did enjoy that movie, I hope you explained that WWII aircraft did not move quite like they were depicted in that movie.

Not WW2 but The Grant documentary on Prime is very good and I would recommend.
