Every contribution goes directly toward producing more episodes and honoring more veterans.Episodes of POV:WW2 are dramatizations based on actual oral histories. While dialogue and narrative have been adapted for clarity, they reflect the veterans' own memories and experiences. Where a veteran's account leaves gaps, we draw on the established and verified historical record to place their experience in its full context. When a veteran's own account includes details that cannot be independently corroborated but are plausible within the established historical record, we honor their testimony and include those details in service of staying true to their experience. Any opinions about the war or its figures represent the perspectives found in the oral histories, not necessarily those of the host.Sign up for updates and info at povww2.comPOV:WW2 brings the combat stories of American veterans to life through immersive narrative storytelling drawn from real oral history interviews. Each episode places you inside pivotal moments of humanity's greatest conflict — honoring these veterans' extraordinary sacrifice with the depth and accuracy their stories deserve.This story is shared with the support of the Rutgers Oral History Archives, one of the most significant collections of veteran oral histories in the United States.
