Description

Both the glories and grim tragedies of war are captured as never before in this stunning History Channel production, which fuses newly discovered color footage with voice performances from a star-studded cast. The voices of LL Cool J, Steve Zahn, Ron Livingston, and Rob Lowe help shape the personal stories of 12 American soldiers whose diary entries provided vivid and unforgettable testimonies about the battlefields of World War II. Narrated by Gary Sinise. 7 3/4 hrs. total on three discs. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.

At first glance, the very concept of WWII in HD seems like an oxymoron. After all, isn't the footage from back then nothing more than grainy black-and-white newsreel? And really, how much definition can be added to film that was shot more than 60 years ago? The answers: no, and quite a lot, actually. The quality of much of what is seen in the course of these 10 episodes (each around 45 minutes long) is surprisingly good. Add to that the fact that most of it is in color (not colorized, but originally recorded in that medium, some at the behest of the United States government), and the result is nothing short of astonishing. It's not easy viewing; there are sequences that are shockingly graphic (vivid examples include the carnage on view after major battles and the shots of Japanese civilians on the Pacific island of Saipan hurling themselves off cliffs to avoid capture by American troops). But all of it has been put to good use in what is undoubtedly one of the most compelling accounts of World War II ever produced. Other documentaries have chronicled the same events seen here, from the earliest days of the war (when Hitler was overrunning Europe and the ill-prepared Americans were still years away from becoming involved), through Pearl Harbor, the major confrontations with the Japanese in the Pacific theater (like Guadalcanal, Tarawa, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the incomparably bloody Iwo Jima) and with the Germans in Europe and North Africa (the invasion of Tunisia, D-day, the Battle of the Bulge), and straight on to victory in Europe and finally the Japanese surrender after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But what separates WWII in HD is the filmmakers' decision to view these events through the experiences of a dozen individuals who were actually there, including a couple of war correspondents (one of whom, Richard Tregaskis, was the author of the seminal Guadalcanal Diary); an Austrian immigrant who escaped the Nazis and almost immediately enlisted in the U.S. Army; a nurse with General George Patton's Third Army; an African-American pilot who was one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen; a Japanese-American medic who fought heroically while his family was held in an internment camp; and others from the rank and file. All of them are voiced by such actors as Rob Lowe, Amy Smart, Steve Zahn, Josh Lucas, and LL Cool J; and with Gary Sinise providing voice-over narration, the whole piece comes off as a dramatic film as much as a straight documentary (an effect also enhanced by some brilliantly creative juxtapositions of words, images, and music). Not all of these men and women made it through the war (those still alive also appear in on-camera interviews), but none could ever forget the horrors they witnessed, and while those of us who did not serve will never really comprehend the sacrifices they made, this remarkable program may be as close as we can get. --Sam GrahamStills from WWII in HD (Click for larger image)

Gene McKinney twice earned the Bronze Star while serving in Vietnam. In 1995, after 26 years of outstanding military service, Gene McKinney was appointed sergeant major of the Army. In 1997, Sergeant Major Gene McKinney was charged with 19 counts of sexual misconduct and obstruction of justice. Gene McKinney, former sergeant major of the Army, the highest ranking noncommissioned officer in the entire service, faced a sentence of more than 50 years in prison. The case against Gene McKinney seemed overwhelming - 19 counts involving accusations brought by six women, each of whom was also in the military. Each of the women was white. Sergeant Major McKinney is black. Was he an unscrupulous sexual predator who abused his power over his subordinates or was he the victim of a racist, sexist plot designed to punish not merely an innocent man, but one of the U.S. Army's very best?Airdate: 3/10/1998This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
