You’re right. Maris, not Mantle. Oops.

You may have been impacted by seeing aircraft flying into buildings and seeing other peoples emotions but I doubt you truly understood it or the significance.


I mean, at 7 I could understand the significance of a few thousand people being killed.

This the history we need to understand today. It is a comprehensive non-ideological examination of the Spanish Civil War from its early roots to its end. Lots of interviews with people from all sides who lived through it across six episodes.

Fun Fact: The “Sarajevo Assassin”, could not legally be executed by the Austro-Hungarian authorities because he was too young at the time he committed the killing. Died of TB in a military hospital at Therereisenstadt in 1918 in custody. Interesting place now to visit (Terezín in the modern-day Czech Republic).


TB degraded his bones so bad, they had to cut off his right arm to stop it from going necrotic and killing him. When he died from illness and malnourishment, he weighed only 88lbs.

1975 fall of Saigon. 6 or 7 year old me watching perfectly good helicopters being thrown overboard to make room for more incoming aircraft. Of course back then I was enthralled by anything that flew, especially military stuff and couldn't figure out why they were throwing perfectly good helicopters overboard so my mother explained it to me.
