Smh such a bullshit ending
So am I the only one upset about how WWII ended? I mean they built Hitler up to be the big bad and just when he is about to face justice, he goes and kills himself. WTF was the point of him if FDR and Churchill were not going to fight him in an epic duel to save the world? And don't get me started on FDR! They just kill him half way through the war. Truman totally did not deserve to win the war, his character arc was not about war winning. And it certainly wasn't about destroying two cities with bullshit deus ex super weapons that came out of no where.
And another thing that pissed me off is that in the last episode of the war we find out that Stalin was a bad guy the entire time! Where was this foreshadowed to us? WTF, absolute character assassination. He was all about freeing the oppressed and bringing about a new system that wasn't shackling the poor and they made him a dictator? That is bullshit!
Anyways, WWII was cool but its end was absolutely trash and I would like you guys to sign a petition to have it rewritten.

An Irishman, a Frenchman,a Scotsman, a Englishman are on a hot air ballon.
The captain of a hot air ballon realized he was crashing and everyone on board would die. He said,” Somebody’s going to have to jump!” A Frenchman comes up, and says, Viva la France! And jumps. The captain says we need someone else to jump! A Scotsman comes up, and says, for the glory of Scotland! And jumps. The captain says we need one more to jump. So the Irishman comes up and says, FOR THE GLORY OF IRELAND, and throws off the Englishman!
