World At War - 1973 - 8/10

Good companion to The Great War which covered WWI.
Massive amounts of newsreel and combat footage. Talking heads include veterans and historians.
Chronological, with numerous detours into specific campaigns or nations.
Burma, for example, is not always included in docs. Nor is Holland. Both are here.
Focus more on common soldiers or airmen or seamen, rather than brass, save for generals who were actually field generals, out there.
Deaths from the war = 55,000,000.
One quote stayed with me, “There are a great many soldiers who take great pleasure in destroying people, wasting things. This aspect of human nature is not discussed enough, but it is surely one of the causes of warfare.”
I don’t see us evolving much.
