Yup... that was the first time I've heard that theory.
So far it seems a little jingoistic. It will be interesting to see how the end of the war in Europe is handled.

Its PBS for crying out loud... what do you expect ? |
Actually given that it is PBS I would have expected a slightly more left of center approach. This had (at times) a certain Fox Newsy "Let's roll up our sleeves and get 'er DUN, 'Merica!" kind of feel to it.
The personal stuff is interesting though.

I havent personally seen it. But Im pretty sure that PBS would have screened this befor putting it on the air and their.. uh... censors (for lack of a better word) deemed it 'suitable' for the PBS audience.
But Im making a lot of assumptions not having seen it first hand so Ill just leave it at that.
