Where did this come from?

I just witnessed an atrocity on TV. An advertisement by Time-Life Inc for a set of DVDs called Apocalypse:World War II.
They claim that you'll never get closer than these films. It highlights soldiers being killed close up, their bodies falling in the snow, the machines grinding them into paste and the tools of war, filled with men, being destroyed. These scenes are described as "Educational", as if thousands of extras are going to teach you something, then get up and go home home to dinner.
It's a lie of course. These heartless profiteers are riding the bleeding backs of real men to their bank accounts.
I know there are very few WWII veterans left.I hope none of them see this. We all have too many ghosts wandering around in our minds as it is.
