WWII in HD on the history channel..
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.

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

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

Re: WWII in HD on the history channel..
Concur. Only have watched 2 of the episodes so far, but the rest are queued up on my DVR.

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:

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.
