after all these year i still consider this series the fine example of world war ii documentary film making . the interview with the many participant from all country set this apart from any other project . it would be great to see a contemporary documentarian ( ken burn . ) take on this topic and try to gather information from veteran before they be all go . with modern technology to improve old archival footage and lot of information that have be unearth since 1974 when the world at war be produce and an updated version of this series would be welcome . the history channel have make some fine show deal with many aspect of wwii but an expansive series such a the world at war have not be successfully attempt since the original . if you be interested in this era do not miss this series . it be require viewing .
