I consider Band of Brothers the best World War II thing* there is. Think of Saving Private Ryan without the Hollywood plot progression. If you want to check it out, The History Channel was re-airing it recently. They might still have a few episodes left to go.
*Personally, I consider it a movie that simply has the advantage of being 10 hours long. But basically, it's the best cinematic feature about World War II, whatever you want to compare it to.
