This special and the ongoing shows that followed have done an excellent job detailing WW2 battles. I especially enjoy the ones about the Pacific campaign as those are so often lumped together & not examined one by one. Via the old aerial photographs, one gets a better sense of the lay of the land in these battles which is sometimes hard to visualize when simply reading about them. Includes achieve footage, interviews with those who were there & historians and some fairly good recreation footage (at least they get uniforms & weapons right). Plus they don't do such long recaps when returning from commercial, a big pet peeve of mine with the History Channel.
