Yeah I thought so too but it continues with more on the fighting in the Pacific and there is an episode about after the war too. It was an amazing series

Germany and Japan were linked by treaty, so to take on Japan meant that Germany would in turn take on America. Therefore, when the USA declared war on Japan for the bombing, Germany fulfilled its obligation and declared war on the United States. So, Suprkit's remark, though loaded, is correct. America's involvement in Europe was preceded by the Axis powers declaring war on her first.

why limit the parts and why not get into more detail with personal sides...think about howmany people want to see more than a large gun firing or a boat sinking and getdown to who is who and what they love to do...basketball in high school or band....why limit this great generation to parts...keep making parts and tell the in depth story of each and every soldier or sweetheartthat help us win the war. respectfully,r0n
