For the forum...
Here’s a link to an archive of threads on the PBS/Ken Burns production,
“The War”, including discussion threads on the parts of the series
and related threads touching on “The War” series.

And here’s a short heads-up: PBS will air the final episode (Part 7)
tonight (Tues 10-2-07), airing at 7PM Central and reairing at 9:30PM.
Of course, the PBS stations don’t all stick to normal air-times/dates...
so it would be wise to check this URL for local PBS stations airtime
and date:

I have been watching the series. After reading some of the comments on that thread, I do agree that some of the political slant on it does come through, and it is a bit disappointing.
Nonetheless the tales from each veteran is quite compelling, and Burns and company do a great job of letting the viewer understand the hell WW2 veterans went through to save the world. That kind of suffering and savagery is unimaginable to me and makes me eternally grateful for their sacrifice and bravery.
