Overview
World War II in HD (2009)
WWII in HD is the first-ever World War II documentary presented in full, immersive HD color. Culled from
thousands of hours of lost and rare color archival footage gathered from a worldwide search through
basements and archives, WWII in HD will change the way the world sees this defining conflict. Using footage
never before seen by most Americans--converted to HD for unprecedented clarity--viewers will experience
the war as if they were actually there, surrounded by the real sights and sounds of the battlefields. Along the
way they'll meet a diverse group of soldiers whose wartime diaries and journals show in visceral detail what
the war was really like.
This visually astonishing landmark series presents the story of World War II through the eyes of 12 Americans
who experienced the war firsthand. Viewers will hear the story of Army nurse June Wandrey, who served from
the beginning of the war in North Africa to the liberation of the camps in Germany. They will meet Shelby
Westbrook, a young African American from Toledo, who became a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen;
Jimmie Kanaya, the son of Japanese immigrants, who served in the U.S. Army and was imprisoned in
Europe; and Jack Werner, a Jewish émigré who escaped from Austria before the war and wound up fighting
not against Hitler and the hated Nazis, but in the Pacific Theater.
