WWII in HD Review

The History Channel had their hands full when putting this documentary together that follows soldiers, nurses, journalists, sailors and a few others that fought in the front lines of world war two. The war that has shaped many nations to what they are now, the series embarks on the European and Pacific regions of World War II and boy does this series packs a punch! Being narrated by Gary Sinise, this is a great series to add in anyones collection.

First five!

The first five minutes into this series was amazing, I was blown away with the intensity of the footage actually captured of World War 2. The sound was amazing and to top it off I hooked it up to a sound system. The visuals were not too shabby for old footage captured in the late 1930's. The conversion over to Bluray and high definition was pretty impressive as well.

I was like a little boy at a candy store! If you're a patriotic guy like me then you'll have the same reaction. All the explosions and intense moments left me mind bottled and actually made me appreciate everything I have immensely. It even saddened me when I put myself in the shoes of the soldiers who fought and are still fighting wars... My God! Those were some brave men that fought for our country. I'm so grateful for their sacrifices and see world war two in a whole new perspective.
