~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All in all very well done. 7-1/2 hours is not enough to cover all that happened during WWII. To be honest 700 hours would not be enough to cover it all - but this gives a good snap shot all around between a two-front war that encompassed the world at large.

A very nice addition for those into history, and especially military history - and especially with all the Color action.
