WWII IN HD is a landmark series presentation premiering on HISTORY on November 15th. This special series presents the story of the war through the eyes of 12 Americans who fought in or contributed to the World War II effort. Between them, they represent different branches of the service and each of the major theaters of war. Their stories are told through amazing archival footage gathered from a worldwide search through basements and archives, presented in full immersive HD color.
Diaries, journals, interviews and Dolby “soundscape” are incorporated to enhance these striking visuals. WWII IN HD transforms a war that many Americans know only through black-and-white newsreel footage into something viscerally real and newly relevant. This is history from a profoundly human point of view.

Educators and students will be able to gain new insights into the meaning and significance of this transformative era in world history.
