The NBC Orchestra Rocks!!! I'm not much into classical music, but the NBC Orchestra added a lot to these Documentaries. The music set the mood.

There is also a book on the series. I read it several years ago. It went into a lot of depth about subjects that were less studied. For instance it compared the "tooth to tale" ratio for U.S. forces in the Pacific versus those Europe. It was as expected much higher in the Pacific due to the much greater distances, and lack of support facilities in the area.
