The Color of War S01 E14 Man and Machine

WWII was the first fully mechanized war--with soldiers in tanks and other armored vehicles pounding across a lethal, modern battlefield.

In this episode of our award-winning, all-color series, we bring to life the experiences of soldiers who manned the machines of war.
