The ten-part series narrated by Gary Sinise draws upon more than 3,000 hours of WWII footage culled from archives and private collections around the world. Restored and enhanced through HD technology, the series brings to light riveting footage from sources that range from the National Archives and the Army Heritage and and Education Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to Homer Helter's Military Mall in Naples, Florida. The series follows a handful of people as their personal journeys intersect with one another throughout the war. Their stories, culled from diaries, journals, and new interviews, will be delivered with emotional impact by some of Hollywood's top talents, helping to recreate the war's events not as detached historical facts, but rather as profound experiences on the level of a great Hollywood epic. The veterans themselves also appear, recounting their experiences first hand.

I think the sequel is called "The Air War" very exciting. Also, the producer and director for the original WWII in HD has a new film out called "The Wereth Eleven" - saw the trailer on YouTube, looks pretty intense!

I think there's going to be a sequel to this November of this year. If so, I can't wait to see it. WWII in HD is hands-down the best historical doc*mentary I've seen.
