Since I've seen the depiction of WW2 aerial warfare in "Dogfights", I think History channel just lacks enough money to put their "documentaries" in movie theatres because the effects are too cheap.

However, the lack of accuracy, cheap scenario and patriotic messages are worth any Jerry Bruckheimer production.

And this is just for very recent, well documented and easily accessible History.

Now imagine what they are saying about pre-History or antic History.

this is a good example where proof would help..

ok,
which fights/battles were misrepresnted.. as posted, so far it is opinion.. I need specifics..

I always saw them as giving credit when credit was due.. if we got our ass kicked, they showed us getitng our ass kicked..
if we were winning, they showed us winning..

btw, I speak to wwii vets often, in person for hours on end.. and not one of them had a complaint about the History channel
