WW II in HD
« on: November 16, 2009, 09:19:23 PM »
Anyone watching the History Channel's WW II special?
Some of the footage I've seen before, but most is new to me.

Yup - watched it both nights. Fantastic color 8mm or 16mm shots rendered into HD. Good job syncing new sounds to what's on screen. Good stuff, greatest generation!

I only saw the first night and thought it was great. Hopefully my son in law is recording it for me.
They also showed a trailer for a new series by the producers of Band of Brothers about the Pacific Theatre. That should be awesome.

I fell alseep about halfway through both nights.  Since that's par for the course for me, however, I DID set the DVR.   ;D

Yes, and told my 14 year old who lives in NC, it was his "homework" or he gets coal for Christmas.

Since he's coming here for Christmas, he's watching....

One of the best things I have seen from the History Channel.  I hope they do more like it.

It is homework for my kids, too.

It's a great show.  But did anyone else notice they jump to the years we were winning in to tell stories about?  I've heard stories from vet's about walking on stacks of dead bodies when getting off those landing vehicles.  And watching the others land all around theirs only to see every single man on board killed before they got a foot out the door being common.   :(

DVR is a wonderful thing.
