Has anyone seen this documentary about World War 2 made using authentic footage and interviews with participants?

I downloaded it and its incredibly good. Laurence Olivier narrates too.

I have a good amount WWII dvds and videos that actually footage. I have most of the Pacific War because my Grandpa Jerry served aboard U.S.S Franklin (CV-13).

You can also pick up a copy of the complete "Victory at Sea" series. This was a series of half hour programs produced c.1953, but using gun camera film and newsreel footage from both sides. You can probably find it at your local Wal-Mart for about $5.

The History Channel also offers several programs for sale. You might be able to find them on line, but they tend to be expensive.

If you have Sky TV they show it on the History channel from time to time, in fact it was on only last week.

If you're REALLY interesed in it the whole thing is available on DVD :wink:
