Product: No Bridge Too Far - Part One
Rating: 5.0
Outstanding WWII Documentary
Historian Marion Chard has created a brilliant documentary on the long overlooked contributions of the Combat Engineer in our Armed Forces during WWII. From bridge building under enemy fire to mine removal the work of the Combat Engineer was not only hazardous but crucial to the Allied success against the Axis foe. An added bonus to this engrossing story is the period music cleverly used throughout transporting the viewer back to the early 1940's with the participants. This documentary reminds one of Ken Burns best work and deserves equal airplay on PBS stations nationwide.
