I grew up with a series called 'The World At War' that was shown in the UK. I suppose that WWII was always more with us in the UK - I lived in London and when I was growing up there were still bomb sites around and recounting of the Blitz was something that we heard quite often. I knew people who had been held in prisoner of war camps both by the Germans and the Japanese.

It is interesting to see this account of the War from an American perspective and I will continue to watch it for now.
