I wasn't alive during WWII either (or before 1960 for that matter) but I have watched The History Channel.
P.S.: Your observation about some teachers in their 20's is downright frightening.
Maybe you watched the History Channel back when they SHOWED History programming... now it's reality TV and Wrestling...
I've watched a LOT of people's shares of History documentaries... but I'm also a small minority (so are you).
People born after the mid 80's have MUCH less concept of WWII.
And yes, it's frightening the level of ignorance SOME new teachers graduate with... NOT all, mind you... (we just hired a very newly graduated teacher to teach history at my school, and HE is EXCELLENT, and VERY well versed! ).
Even the bottom 1/4 of every graduating class of new teachers get jobs and end up teaching kids - and some of them ARE downright scary-ignorant!
