WWII in HD is a 10-part American documentary television miniseries that originally aired from November 15 to November 19, 2009 on the History Channel.

The twelve members recorded their time in both theaters and some had later interviews; found footage from the battlefield was paired with the stories of the twelve service members. The episodes premiered on five consecutive days, with two episodes per day. The series is narrated by Gary Sinise and was produced by Lou Reda Productions in Easton, Pennsylvania, United States.

Very informative and unique documentary about (the U.S. story of) WWII. Almost all footage is in color. You'll follow a diverse group of people who fought during this war. Their stories are impressive and real. Too bad they only followed people who fought on the U.S. side of the war. There is no complete overview of the war and a lot is untold. Luckily there are a lot of documentaries about WWII, so on to the next one!

So, I watched the first two episodes. The quality of the footage is OK although it's not real HD. I mean, the resolution might be there but just don't expect crisp and clear pictures. I'm am however very much on the fence concerning this production. Like I said, footage is good, which is a main selling point. But I don't like the over dubbed sound or the narrative nature of it. Furthermore it jumps back and forth through time and events, there is no real chronology. And a lot of times I get the feeling they are using footage just to fit the narrative. The edditing is too fast - you barely have more then a couple of seconds before there is another cut. Since it also only focusses on the American involvement in the war the title of the show itself becomes misleading. It should say "WWII (from America's pov) in (mostly grainy) HD" Ultimately I'd rather have a real movie or a hard documentary instead of this in between style.
