Foreword
"The major world wars of 1914 and 1939 were considered to be the most destructive. The belligerency perpetuated by the majority of nations almost involved all sorts of atrocities, mass killings, rape, summary executions and other forms of crimes against humanity. 37 million people, both civilian and military alike, died during World War 1. By the end of World War 2, an estimated 70 million people and soldiers perished as a result of the conflict. The greatest war the world have ever seen reshaped the way people think and conduct the affairs of their own government. The paradigm shift in world ideals perpetuated the need to rediscover history and its horrors that we may never have to relive them again in our lifetime."
My grandfather was a decorated war hero who served in the USAFFE during the second world war. He died as a result of his wounds during the Battle of Bataan a couple of years after the war officially ended. The stories of the people he saved is a story of national valor that encourages me to keep his memory through war's images, a reminder that war should not repeat itself.
