What World War II Documentary?

Jay · 28-08-2006, 08:33 PM

Hey all,

I'm looking for this documentary. Seemed old, all I remember is that it covered battles in several sections, including one on the generals, the tactics, the men, the equipment, the order of battle, etc. Very detailed, no interviews. Anybody seen that and know what it's called?

Was going to say Battlefield/ Battleground that's on Discovery, but that's only the footage, not the programme itself.

Jay, you got me...WW2 has had as many documentaries as can be imagined. But welcome to the boards...you'll enjoy it here!

No idea. If you find out please post the title, it sounds interesting. Where did you first see it, and how long ago?
