The History Channel has a brazillion documentaries on the World War 2, and some of them are very good, and all this material has been covered many times before in both documentaries and dramatic movies.
One of the main characters in Burn's film was featured in another documentary called "A Fighter Pilot's Story" , a few years old, and which was more powerful to me.
I also like the old BBC series "World At War" which was excellent and thorough.
Part of the problem is that the war was so epic, and had so many stories, is that it is very difficult to capture, even in a film this long. Burns really skims over the non-American parts of the war.
