Yeah!

According to the all mighty History Channel:
- The USA won the WW2... And save the day. Of course and the rest of us were just a slacking wannabe hang-outs...
- The axis planes are exploding violently every time when even one US .50 super bullet hit... Anywhere...
- The P51 can do a hand-brake-turn
- And more so US blaa blaa blaa

The History Channel in HD? The BS in HD. Any difference?

blahbity blah blah. Whatever it is, my husband already asked me to set it up to record.

Dred, have you ever seen that multi-volume documentary the bbc did in the '70s?  That has a lot of footage that you might like.

You talking about "The World at War?"

Was a great series

You are right, I complete misunderstood it.

It's a "History Channel" just for the entertainment by the Walt Disney Company.

[DREDger]

Yeah!

According to the all mighty History Channel:

- And more so US blaa blaa blaa

I've never seen the history channel claim the USA won ww2.  The primary demographic for the program is the USA, so it would stand to reason the producers would gear programs with the historic perspective of the USA in mind.   That isn't propaganda, that is a free market economy with the intent of drawing likely viewers.

It is true however that the US did save the day in ww2, sorry if that offends your sensibilities.  It was the vast industrial capability of the USA that brought so much to bear against the axis that turned the tide.  At the time there were many in America who viewed the war in Europe as none of america's business.  Thankfully for all of us that sentiment did not prevail.

I know it is a hard pill to swallow for many that American hegemony has been and is so influential on the world stage.  Leading in areas such as medicine, science, humanities, literature and technology.  No need to hate us for it or be jealous about it, we'd prefer it if you just said thank you and went on your way.

Watched it last night, thought it was well put together and informative.  I'll be watching the rest of the week.

Watched it last night, thought it was well put together and informative.  I'll be watching the rest of the week.

I thought exactly the opposite.  It was single sided, choppy, and vaguely propagandized.  They went through the BoB in about 30 seconds.  Most of the films show were simply colorized versions of film already out there.  The producers clearly had a myopic vision of what they wished to be portrayed.

But then again, while waiting,  I had to sit through five minutes of some show called "Pawn Stars".  On "The History Channel".

Haha, entirely agree -- including the pawn stars part.  They covered 5 years in one (albeit longer) episode...makes you wonder how the next 4 episodes will break down.  I'll still watch it, but my expectations aren't too high. 

[fudgums]

Tonight at 10, 8th Air Force footage over Germany. 


(Probably footage I've already seen)

[Meatwad]

Watching it right now.

So far I REALLY enjoy it 

[longtime]

Watching it now. Its very good.
