WWII in HD....

The amazing 10-part mini-series on World War II is back on History Channel this week tonight through Sunday and I am going to sit down and watch it (again). What is most amazing, outside of the complete and amazing coverage and footage (all of it in color, interesting note) is the stories of the 12 people that are followed throughout the war. It is very powerful and I personally think the best war documentary ever put on TV. I know some people would say Ken Burns' Civil War was better but I don't think it was. It was interesting but incredibly boring and too long, plus with this series some of the people they follow are still alive today so there is still some connection. And to think everyone of these 12 heros went off to fight the Japs and Nazi's were younger than me. It's really hard to process in today's world what that really means. Some of these stories are heart-wrenching and I won't lie, I was in tears at the end the first time I saw it and I probably will be again. It really is that intense. If you don't have cable or can't sit down and watch it buy it, its $30-40 well spent.
