'For your tomorrow, we gave our today.'
"I am absolutely disgusted with the way things are turning out. There is no respect shown for people, the respect is for money, not people. I am absolutely disappointed in the country and sometimes wonder if it was worth all the suffering of a war." WW2 Veteran.
"Our women today have been conned into going out to work. The families are no longer as close as we were. We went to war to defend our beloved country, our families and our faith." Another WW2 Veteran.
"It's a pity that Hitler did not get here. If I had my time again, I would have never gone." Yet another WW2 Veteran.
Zoomer Historian: The idea that fighting World War 2 was a good thing is immediately taken for granted and if you dare oppose that narrative then you are viewed as some kind of evil extremist. This applies to generation after generation. The veterans themselves, however, are seemingly never asked. What does that brave generation of the war years really think? They blindly sacrificed everything for Britain in what they at the time believed to be a just cause. Do they still believe this? Do they regret it? Let's cut through the post-war propaganda and hear the views of the men themselves. Their generation, at the very least, tells it how they see it.
