There are two television shows from about ten years ago that I am
trying to find.  One I think was called War! and the other was Order
of Battle, maybe.  The later one was just descriptions and graphics
regrading WWII.

When you say you are trying to find these shows, do you mean that
you're trying to find information about them, or purchase them on
video media, or something else?

If you're trying to purchase the shows - in what format should tey be?
(Which zone if DVD, which system if VHS)?

I don't suppose "Order of Battle" is the PBS series "World at War" is
it? They had a lot of graphics and stock footage (I don't know how
many times I saw the same rocket launcher) and included chapters for
each campaign with names like The Leaders, The Men, The Weapons, and
Order of Battle, if memory serves. Very dry stuff, but I loved it.

DVD or VHS, for new york city.

Not the world at war.  It was produced not long ago.

There was a 1982 miniseries called "War":

http://imdb.com/title/tt0126178

The "Order of Battle" that you describe is a feature of the
documentary series "Battlefield," which devoted each episode to a
particular important battle during WWII, i.e. the Battle of Kursk. One
featured segment of each episode was "Order of Battle," which
described the overall commanders on each side, the battlefield
generals or admirals, the armies or naval battle groups and fleets,
their armaments and armor, etc. It included descriptions and graphics
of the weaponry, the technical specifications, the disposition of
forces, brief biographies of the commanders.

"Battlefield" was what I was thinking of as well. "World at War" is a
different series narrated by Laurence Olivier.

Thanks, Hlabadie.

Thanks.  Much appreciated.
