The post about having only 10 hours of film is incorrect. We used 10 hours of film, we have 3,000 hours.

I watched one of the parts last night for the first time – it was terrific. Got the DVR recording all the series parts!

The best documentary about WWII was (probably): The World at War (1973) from the BBC by Sir Lawrence Olivier. WII in HD offers a more realistic look at WWII than black and white images, and it shows the horrible scenes in a more life-like way. The documentary is condensed, because they only have about 10 hours of footage, so they cannot be as extensive as other documentarys that are not limited.
It’s great that people are watching it, and I agree this is what the History channel should focus on. They also did an excellent two-hour program: The Crumbling of America which dealt with our country’s failing infrastructure.

Great series. This is what the History Channel should ONLY be about. Not lumberjacks, pawn shops, or ice truckers. History. Real history.

Very good show but they should have had more about the D DAY invasion. They jumped suddenly from early June 1944 to June 8th 1944 . They could’ve shown the thousands of ships and airplanes crossing the english channel on the day of the world’s greatest invasion ever. I understand that a bunch of the D DAY footage fell in the ocean when they were handing it from one boat to another.

It is a worthwhile watch. I have been pleased with the series and its delivery.
