I seen one 6 part WWII documentary can't remember what the name of it was called now but it was the best ive ever seen of WW2. What I liked about it is even tho was old footage most blacknwhite some in color none of the gory bits were left out. None whatsoever, guys crushed by tanks, one unknown pilot shooting down a pilot that was parachuting to the ground. Guys found dead in lifeboats after weeks at sea some still gripping to the side bobbing up and down in the water like yo yo's with their eyes missing from seagulls

Best episode of Stalingrad ive seen, showing German snipers taking out soviet troops - them getting hit in the back falling down and dieing then only to hear a second shot and his head flinch, one of the snipers was laying in wait for soviets troops to run pass only about 20 feet away & would pick off the last man. Cause of the noise of bombs going off and gun fire no one would know that the last guy in line was being picked off, as the guys in front of him just kept on running ahead not knowing what just happened. Shooting the enemy in the back!

Totally blew me away - at some of the snipers tactics getting up very close and taking out their targets not like the 500 yrds aways you see in Hollywood movies.

That doc showed the realities of war, something that should be shown in universities over here.
