Title: WWII in HD on the history channel..
Post by: Bookcat on November 21, 2009, 02:07:09 PM
Unbelievable footage from both fronts during the closing days of WWII as the Germans and Japanese started taking desperate measures. If any of you liked Ken Burn's The War series...I highly recommend you watch this documentary. This is probably the most realistic and graphic depicition of the chaos, horror, and insanity of war as you'll ever see.

The footage was remastered in HD. The quality isn't too good...but its all remade at 16:9 ratio and it just remarkable.

Concur. Only have watched 2 of the episodes so far, but the rest are queued up on my DVR.

How many episodes are there total?

Do they show the US as the murderous aggressors that dropped H-bombs just to be mean?

I read that in a new history book. :pirateskull:

Good fracking God I hope some good parents out there are helping their kids with history homework.

Especially that part about the hydrogen bomb not being invented until 7 years after the war ended.

Fusion vs. fission. Small details not important to a liberal history book editor.
