I had a hard time staying awake till 10PM too (what an exiting life I lead ) but I pre-ordered this on DVD and it arrived on Saturday...otherwise I would have missed large blocks of this outstanding series. In the last episode when they were talking about the joy on VJ Day, I loved the Veteran that said "You could cop a feel when you were walking down the street and nobody cared!" Now only a man in his 80's could get away with saying that!
:lol:
The combat footage used in this series was about 80% all new to me, which was an unexpected plus. There were a few shots that are used on nearly every documentary, but I realize that most Americans are not documentary junkies like I am. Just a lovely group of people they found for this project, and all of them very well spoken. It was nice that they included several people who were still children during WWII, as it gave the film an added dimension.
