 Struggle
Interviews with 16 Wisconsin veterans hailed as members of America's greatest generation. They recount their experiences from Pearl Harbor to D-Day. Noteworthy is the involvement of Wisconsin's own in benchmarks of the war, such as Pearl Harbor.
Europe
Veterans' recollections from D-Day to victory in Europe, encompassing the searing memories of battlefield loss, hunger, sleeplessness and injury. Several recall the discovered horrors when liberating concentration camps. Victory celebrations were also tempered by the thought of the Pacific Theater.
Pacific
The stories of tremendous battles - above, below and on the waters of the vast Pacific Ocean. Those who endured the battles and imprisonment on faraway island jungles return scarred, but ready to relate their experiences.
Home Front
These are the stories of the people who served on the home front, the ones who worked in the munitions plants, built submarines, canned food supplies, went without and waited for the soldiers to come home.
Legacy
The names, places and events of World War II still live in society's memory, carried by the veterans' stories from a time that continues to affect the world today.
