Short Review

Its an interesting little documentary made back in the day when the war just ended. It won best documentary but compared to today's documentaries, its a bit flat, but seeing Ike do the introduction and seeing generals like Patton and Bradley in all their glory is always a great thing. If you want a basic summery of the war in Europe starting with D-Day, this is it.
