HELL YES! MORE HITLER IN HIGH-DEF!
09.24.09The best two minutes of anything I’ve seen over the last two months was the first trailer for History’s “WWII in HD” (seen here), which was an absolute revelation: color images of the Second World War so striking and clear that I got goosebumps.
Well, goosebumps are about to get goosebumpier, because here’s the newest trailer for “WWII in HD,” and I think it might be even better than the first. This one not only has images that give me chills and make my eyes well up, but it’s also set to music similar to the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack over Winston Churchill’s “Never surrender” speech while bombers drop payloads and a soldier clears a bunker with a flamethrower. It is, without slipping into hyperbole, The Greatest Trailer That Ever Trailered.
The ten-hour miniseries begins November 15th. Mark your calendars. If you miss this you’re dead to me.

“Great” has meanings that are not positive, dipshit. “Broad” and “Encompassing” come to mind.
Maybe you should stick to commenting in your native language.
…and I doubt any other network in any other country would use such a tagline.
Except maybe North Korea.
No, you’re spot-on there Duke. All wars are freakin’ AWESOME!
@johnny deformed: Fuck off, yourself. Name a greater war, bitch, I dare you. Where on the planet could you escape it?
And fuck you for the knee-jerk Anti-Americanism. Would you have had the same reaction had it been a network in a different country?
“The Greatest War Ever Fought” ???
Fuck off, America.
i got pretty emotional watching that. goosebumps galore.
i have to echo that “ll cool j” made me chuckle, however.
I agree with the LL Cool J comment, and why put that name last, you gotta hide that shit in the middle or something and go out on an old school name like, “Ron Livingston.”
Sweet trailer though. I plan to make a really big deal about watching the series, but will actually end up missing them when they first air for a variety of reasons, then feel guilty, then catch bits and pieces later in disjointed re-runs or Memorial Day marathons, woo!
I guess high def is part of your…..final solution.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Can there just be a War Channel where they make amazing shit like this/Band of Brothers and replay Das Boot 24/7?
Seeing names like “Amy Smart” and “LL Cool J” in the credits took me out of the moment, but damn, that’s a kick-ass trailer. I need to set my DVR now.
Holy crap is our generation ever a bunch of pussies.
/complains to HR lady over mean comment by boss
Loki09, I’m thinking actual footage will pack more of a punch. Both look great.
This looks fantastic, but do you really think it’s going to be better than The Pacific? Tough call.
Wow, fucking wow.
And, yes you will get goosebumps watching this.
Is this on before or after Ice Road Truckers?
/how is that historical?
