This is Ken Burns' PBS Documentary about World War II. I watched it over a week's time - it is 15 hours or so in length.

He focuses on four towns in Ca., Ct., Al., and Mn. and interviews survivors of the time.

anyone who wants to learn about all the battles in World War II.

the part about The Battle of the Bulge since my dad fought in it. IZt made me sad that I never asked him about it or knew enough about it to ask questions.

look at pictures of my dad from that time in 1945.

like I missed my dad and wished I could talk to him.

it is an outstanding history lesson. Ken Burns films that I've seen have all been outstanding and I have learned more from them than I ever did in public school.

The music is brilliant and I found these to be very relaxing. During the first DVD (there are six) I actually snoozed during part of Guadacanal and Midway. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the War that was way before I was born.
