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.
