I have posted a link under Resources on my Website http://www.84thinfantry.com/?q=resource.
A very well done video. I wish there could be more. I call up 84th vets lots of times and wished I had a way of taping the conversation. Its very important to me to get their commentary in THEIR words not as I remembered it, colored by what I know. The more I reread things the more things I find in it, and things are not always as I first understand it.
I loved the way you intersperced photos Ken Burns style into it. I could take issue with a few on content, but resources are limited and who am I to criticise after the fact. I loved when he personally I.D.ed the men in the streacher photo. I have looked at that photo a lot as well as the PW group walking down the road covered by the hill to their right. I have wished I could pinpoint their location. I think it is somewhere SE of Beek but don't know for sure. There were a lot of photos behind those hills for obvious reasons.
