For any of you WWII buffs out there, there is a documentary on the History Channel (45) tonight at 11pm that uses color footage of the War. I believe the episode tonight is only part of a series. It centers around the US mostly. Some interesting color footage of Pearl Harbour though. Some stuff I haven't seen before.

Another great documentary I recently saw was "Fog of War". It was about Robert McNamarra's time in the USA cabinet as Defense Secretary during the Kennedy and Johnson admininistrations and his involvement and retrospective thoughts on the Viet Nam War. He also spends time on the Cuban Missile Crises, the closest we have come to nuclear devestation.

Another episode on tonight. If you are interested in this stuff it all I really suggest you tune in. Its on right now but repeats at 11pm. This spisode looks like it is focusing on the injuries/medical part of the War. Some unreal footage. It has some concentration camp footage I've never seen too. Quite moving stuff.
