If you want to catch a great WWII color documentary that was made contemporaneously, check out the DVD for “Report from the Aleutians.”
Yeah, it concerns a “backwater” theater (the Pacific Aleutian chain), but the American can-do attitude, that used to be so widespread in this country, comes through loud and clear. It doesn’t avoid death, but the focus is on meeting the challenges. I’ll take this over any WWII doc made today, Ken Burns or not.
