Band of Brothers is awesome. I watch it at least once a year.
Fifty years ago I golfed on a 100+° day, and I remarked to my playing companion, in his 40s, my wonderment that he never complained about the heat. He said, "I was at the Battle of the Bulge, and I swore then that I would never again complain about the heat."
Then, too, my dad was in the 20th Armored through southern Germany, and he brought home a rock from Hitler's fireplace at Berchtesgaden.
