OT D-Day

For those of you who loved "Saving Pt. Ryan", I just saw a Tom Hanks interview, where he was extolling the above TV series, soon to be on HBO. It will be based on Steven Ambrose's fine book "Citizen Solider", which starts at D-Day and follows the "common" dogface thru the rest of WW2. Judging from the clip shown, this will show a lot of small arms of both sides (in clip saw a Garand, MG34 & MG40) and not the romance of Pearl Harbor or Enemy at the Gates. I may have to get cable just for this one and the Sopranos.
