I am a bit baffled by the assertion that Burns is using “never before seen” footage. While this may be technically true, I saw nothing in his pile of drek I hadn’t seen before in vastly superior documentaries.
I did find it very grating how much of Burns’ footage is misidentified and/or misleading. For example, he clearly mixes footage clearly from 1944 and 1945 with events during 1942. This isn’t simply nit-picking, it’s an illustration of how ignorant the filmmaker is of his own subject.
