Movie Reviews:
This
special and the ongoing shows that followed have done an excellent job
detailing WW2 battles. I especially enjoy the ones about the Pacific
campaign as those are so often lumped together & not examined one by
one. Via the old aerial photographs, one gets a better sense of the lay
of the land in these battles which is sometimes hard to visualize when
simply reading about them. Includes achieve footage, interviews with
those who were there & historians and some fairly good recreation
footage (at least they get uniforms & weapons right). Plus they
don't do such long recaps when returning from commercial, a big pet
peeve of mine with the History Channel.
