i enjoyed the WWII story about the one american usmc downing as many as
7 zero planes by himself during the guadalcanal campaign. However, do
you think most of their stories are biased towards
the americans? i would like to see stories covered on other countries.

Erm, it's American television. Though I wouldn't mind seeing something
about the incredibly underreported Red Air Force in WW2.

The cheery ending to last night's Vietnam ep was kind of silly
actually.

Germany had more fighter Aces than all other countries combined during WW2 but

/All/ WWI aces were "self-styled." They /wrote/ The Book.

the use of computer animation was good too, without resorting to stock
footage.

I am discovering for the first time the BBC's 1974 WWII series "The
World At War". 26 episodes (no kidding). It's detailed, not
US-centric, and they have supporting footage and/or first-person
accounts of almost everything. Oh, and it's narrated by Laurence
Olivier. However, it is a history of the war, more than individuals'
war stories.

I've seen a few History Channel shows from the point of view of other
countries during WW2, perhaps it was History Channel International. I
just recall that almost the whole show was dubbed.

Garondo Marondo!
