Congratulations Dr. Citino on your retirement. I'm saddened that I didn't get to visit the museum and meet you before you retired. Enjoy your well earned time to spend with your family. Well done.

While I appreciate and understand the comment, these intros are the best I've ever sat thru. No joke.

John McManus has an incredible series of books on the US Army in the Pacific. Im a former crayon-eater so I had always thought the Pacific theater was mostly fought by Marines and Navy, but just the logistical efforts by the US Army in the Pacific boggle the mind. The combat effort was equally impressive and something that should be talked about and celebrated more.

My 18 year old grandson loves this museum & carries on our family's love of History. His last year of high school in New Orleans he took an Advanced Placement WWII History Class & the class used the vast Museum's Library & even did podcasts on the War called Tigers By The Fire on Apple. The Class attended several conferences at the Museum including the one on the 20th Anniversary of Band Of Brothers in which George was on the panel including writers & actors from the series. He is now a plebe at a US Military Academy.

I wish your grandson the very best prospects in his evolving career and may he build on the wonderful foundation he has learned from his interest in history. I'm sure he'll make you prouder than you are today in his future career. Thanks for sharing.

Dr Black shows a great ability to structure information in his answers to increase their intelligibilty and promorte understanding in his listeners. I would call him a 'natural born educator' but suspect that much thought, work and practice has been needed to achieve this level . I hope all listeners and students come to appreciate his singular ability to embed cogent knowledge in their memories.

Wow.... I had heard mention of peace talks in '43 but never heard any of the details. Now I know why.

Ideological historians like these 2 western exceptionalists see history strictly through Ideological prism. Especially the bald guy. They criticize SU for the German-SU pact. But they never mention that Stalin wanted all European powers to provide protection to the Czechs before the German annexation of CZS. Western politicians sold out CZS and made a deal with the Nazis. Soviets then knew that the west wanted Hitler to destroy SU. Many other examples of pro western bias in this video.
