Ken Burns' The War: Episode 6 - The Ghost Front

The Ardennes looked like a very cold place to fight a war. No colder than Jotenheim in winter where the King of the Front Giants, Thrym, once stole Thor's Hammer - Mjollnir - and paid for it with his life. Those were the days. The Battle of the Bulge seemed pretty tame in comparison. But those were mortal men and, I suppose [though Vidar hates to suppose] for mortals, it was a great battle.
Iwo Jima was a bad ass battle as well.
This episode was long and Vidar kept falling asleep. But I had a feeling the allies were going to win especially with Tom Hanks voice reading all that patriotic stuff.
