It will intentionally avoid the subsidiary issues which cloud judgement of the war, so that a clearer picture of what actually happened on the ground and in the air will emerge. Battlefield Series Three: Vietnam was the first definitive documentary of the Vietnam War as a war. When thoughts turn to Vietnam, attention focuses on a young girl burned by the napalm, piles of bodies at My Lai and the summary execution of a Viet Cong insurgent on the streets of Saigon.Those events are important, but they do not shed a great deal of light on the military realities of the conflict. For so many people, the Vietnam War brings to mind events in America, not in Vietnam. Judgment of the Vietnam war has been clouded by issues which occurred away from Vietnam: the campus protests, the controversial presidencies of Johnson and Nixon, the agonised arguments over MIAs and POWs and the tormented veterans of that war. Series Three: Vietnam of the Battlefield Vietnam (documentary series) consists of twelve one-hour episodes from the acclaimed TV series devoted to Vietnam's key battles. Series One is focused on the main key battles in WW2, and Series Two deals with other lesser known but also key battles. These documentaries were produced and aired over several seasons as separate series. Very comprehensive, exhaustive, entertaining. Rare footage specific to each battle is included. Battlefield provides detailed accounts of individual battles from World War II, including troop movements, arms deployed, motivation of key players.
The presentation is particularly effective using a perspective you never get in most war documentaries. The series employs a novel approach where each battle is the climax of an extended series of events. Battlefield is a World War 2 documentary series initially issued in 1994-5 that explores some of the most important battles fought during the Second World War.
