Indy and crew have done a superb job on WWI.
A video classic to rank with any documentary series, bar none. This thing is up there with Ken Burn’s “Civil War”, but it deals with a vastly more complex topic, in enormous detail.

WWII will be that much more complex.

The complexity is a problem for some of their collaborators. Notably Othais, of C&RSenal, which is well worth supporting. Othais has collected, restored, explained and demonstrated all the major, and many minor, infantry weapons of WWI. That is a huge ordeal, especially all the automatic weapons. WWII will be worse.

Ken Burns work is populist garbage.
