Wow another series by same folks, thanks will def be checking it out.
have been googling for this, can't find it. I def. remember seeing it on PBS in the U.S. as a kid.
World at War is from a brit perspective and therefore has an hour about Japan focussing on Burma.
There is a similar documentary series that focusses on America's island fighting in the Pacific. I can remember seeing Japanese hit with flame throwers, they showed this on TV. They also commented how the japanese would not surrender and would have grenades hidden on their bodies when surrendering. The americans would force them to strip to their underwear when surrendering. Sorry I can't find this, it aired in the 70s and early 80s. It might be Victory at Sea, which according to Wiki predated World at War by 20 years.
