Welcome to the UNCUT series for our premium subscribers. As you may know Ray Harris of the History of WWII podcast has graciously hosted Tony and I on his podcast over the last few years. Well he invited us to do a series with him for his podcast that was also posted on his YouTube channel on the topic of The Top 5 WWII movies according to Ray, Tony and I. As you might guess, it’s not a particularly scientific list but we do our best to explain our reasoning and insult Ray along the way. It has a bit of strong language here and there (mostly of Ray cursing at the insults we landed) so cover those young ears.
