Personally, I don't think there's less or more drama - war is war. If people see war as drama first, real history second, to me that is a real problem... Learning about war shouldn't be only about entertainment. It's not only big, exciting stories with good pacing that deserve attention. Sometimes more can be learned through good shocking detail, and PTO provides plenty of that.

I think it should be a civic duty for people to strive to learn more about their history, especially as recent and as painful as that. For my part, my interest in WWII started with the Eastern front, because I grew up with scars and reminders of it in the land and people all around me. But as I went further, I honestly gained more and more respect for other sides to the war as well. Especially in the last couple of years, my respect and interest for the PTO has been pretty high. It might not be as grand a story, sure, but the details of it are every bit as important and disturbing and need to be known.
