I have seen no discussion on this series, I guess it is a bit off topic. BUT, this series is absolutely so outstanding I think it deserves some discussion. It concluded the seven parts series last evening, there will be repeats. This is definitely a MUST WATCH program. It depicts the war from the viewpoint of the people of four different US towns, and the people that lived there, including those who served and those who stayed behind. I have been a student of WWII since I was a child. It seems I have strange "connection" with the war, although I was only a child at that time. I had relatives in the war, and perhaps that's my draw. They showed film of liberating many camps in Europe near the end of the war that I had never seen before. Horrifying! Some of the worst I have seen. All in all this show deserves whatever type of award is given for public tv documenteries. Excellent.
