Marc, you touched upon the fact that many of these warriors were merely kids. They say the average age of a combatant in WW2 was 26 and in Vietnam it was 19.
There were many who fit the 17 to 20 year old range in WW2. I cannot even imagine trying to put todays youth into the time machine and compare them. It was indeed a different time. I am a huge U-Boat enthusiast among my interests in things military. The youngest U-Boat Captain was only 20! Imagine going to sea with a kid in charge?
