' 'Untold Stories' of Utah veterans on KUED in March U The stories were so compelling that KUED created this extended new episode to share these stories with viewers and document them for future generations. Included are the stories of a ground zero survivor of Hiroshima, a German man pulled into the Hitler youth as a 10-year-old; combat photographers who photographed concentration camps after they were opened; and a soldier whose life was spared because of the song he played on his trumpet. tah veterans will share their compelling and very personal memories in "Untold Stories" — the fifth and final episode of KUED-Channel 7's award-winning series, Utah World War II Stories. The documentary will air March 8, at 7 p.m. and again, March 21, at 7 p.m. After KUED's original broadcast of the four-part series, dozens of Utah veterans and their families contacted producers to tell their own very personal experiences.
