They Filmed the War in Color: The Pacific War - Midway

Now Available on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HIVIQA/

This documentary includes rare color footage of the U.S. Marines in action in the Pacific during World War II. For years the world has watched films of World War II in black and white. Now for the first time, follow alongside those who experienced the war first hand in this remarkable and moving portrait revealing never-before-seen footage shot in full color. On December 7, 1941, Japan launched its attack on Pearl Harbor resulting in the United States being thrust full force into World War II -- turning it into a truly global conflict. American Marines and many of the great filmmakers of the day captured color footage of the events as they unfolded -- the Coral Sea in flames; Guadalcanal littered with corpses; rarely seen images of the deportation of U.S. citizens of Japanese descent and much more.

And alot of this footage was used in the movie "Midway" which was, for it's time, a very well made movie and accurate depiction of this event.

No, the Japanese still would have lost the war, but the loss of life would have been horrendous.
