Found this picture of a WW2 soldier after 4 years in the frontline.

That first documentary is fascinating. No less because it was done by Huston. I'm sort of gob smacked that the army even allowed to to be filmed at the time nevermind it wasn't released. Harrowing stuff. I've read a fair deal about both wars and the mental trauma of WWII soldiers is woefully underrepresented. Thank you very much for posting this
Reminds me of the film Come and See where the kid goes from bright-eyed to looking like 90 years old by the end:
Thank you for these. I watched a couple minutes of the first one, I'll plan on finishing it here later.
After having seen Come & See recently... yes. Imagine going to the front as a child essentially and witnessing all that. I can't even comprehend it.
Can't imagine what WWII was like let alone WWI. So many people just trying out war crimes for fun cuz they could. So many young people from every corner of the earth just thrown into this inhumane meat grinder.
Every mother fucking right winger that jokes about or really believes in acceleration towards another civil war or world war...wish we had time machines just so we could throw them back to those days so they can take the place of the thousands of bright young stars we lost.

War was hell.
My Grandfather fought in WW2. I hear lots of stories from him but the strangest was about a Soldier that was stationed with him and died in a bomb attack while holding something with the name of my Grandfather in his hands. He was then burried with my Grandfathers name. We visited the grave together when I was a kid.
And this happened in my hometown:

Damn, I can't tell what did more damage to him, the battlefield or being a pow in camps run by nazi germany. Either way, it looks as if part of him died somewhere along the way.
I believe this doc was the inspiration for the early scenes of PT Andersons The Master

Off story, but similar. Right after 9/11, there was a young kid that would come in my bank when I was a teller, he signed up right after he turned 18. He was front line infantry, and when he came back, he was a completely different person. Didn't talk, stared right through you, ended up taking his own life. The eyes on the right are exactly how his were.

Thanks, will give this a watch - Three Arrows' videos are always good.
That's a haunting photo
If you like that doc. You might also like this pod, about the myth of a clean Wehrmacht.
We have a major problem with this at the moment in Britain. Significant chunks of people screaming about sovereignty or desecrating the memory of the war dead to peddle their nationalist garbage.
People who are the quickest to bring up the war in an attempt to further their opinions on Brexit, nationalism, racism etc, are the absolute first who should be showing respect to the dead by keeping their names out of their damn mouths.
