SIAP: new HBO WWII mini series in the works

Nice.

I'd rather see something involving the east front.

I was gonna post this yesterday but got side tracked.

Should be another epic show.

I have a feeling it will be a bit better than The Pacific but not as good as BOB.

The Pacific, while good, bounced around too much for the first few episodes before really getting good in the back half.

Interesting statistic from that link:

The Eighth Air Force lost more men in WW2 than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. I did not know that.

i actually loved the Pacific and BoB equally. I thought BoB started off slow and didnt get going until halfway through.


everyone on here always craps on the Pacific but i thought it was very well done

I liked them equally too. But I'm partial to The Pacific. My paw paw was in the marines and fought in the pacific. I loved watching it.

Generation Kill was better than both.

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner

by Randall Jarrell

From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

Thank God
