Excellent for introducing...

...people to WWII history. My uncle, a career Navy man and on the USS Enterprise on December 7th, 1941, said that this movie version of the TV show was good in depicting the war, as he saw it from the deck of a ship in the South Pacific. Of course there was no musical accompaniment nor profound moments; combat is hours of boredom coupled with minutes of sheer terror. What you are seeing, with a few minor exceptions, is actual footage from the battles described. It is a well-produced and good look at what our men, and those of our allies and even enemies faced in WWII. It is emotional, it cannot help to be, given the subject matter. A good, solid introduction to WWII history.
