The Fallen

Yesterday, an extraordinary firefight has broken out on Twitter caused by a position put by the well-respected Australian journalist and heavy-weight professor, Peter van Onselen @vanOnselenP.

The rights and wrongs of what he said is an ongoing battle, spreading across Australian media. It has managed to bring out some excellent scholarship and explanations to the surface about what was Nazism and what happened in WW2...a time fast fading from our collective memory, and, sadly, the lessons it taught.

Here is one diamond uncovered, strictly on the impact of WW2. It is an uncontroversial, 18 minute, award-winning video presenting beautifully (if that is the right word) the cost in human lives of that conflict and compares it to previous and subsequent wars.

Lest we forget,
