The link to IMDB is incorrect! It is linked to the 1954 motion picture of the documentary genre -- and not to the 1952 documentary television series of 13 hours length (26 episodes, 30 minutes each).

The TV series was not just ". . . about naval warfare" nor "Salomon learned of the large amounts of film that the warring navies had compiled." There is considerable footage and narration on major land battles of WW II. Some examples are portions of the North African campaigns (British v. Germans and Italians), and the two amphibious invasions in French Northwest Africa, as well as the breakout from Normandy landings, Iwo Jima, Saipan, etc.

Jay, retired naval officer, and amateur historian of WW II.

• I corrected this link and removed this article from WikiProject:Films because it does indeed refer to a documentary television series. If anyone takes issue with this they ought to create a separte article for the 1954 film. Gillian416 21:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Music credit correction

Thanks. I made that mistake months ago and was meaning to correct it. I guess the Nelson Riddle reference was another classic show I saw. Elwin Blaine Coldiron 03:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
