From official site (http://www.pbs.org/thewar/about_letter_from_producers.htm):
“Only the soldier really lives the war. The journalist does not -- war happens inside a man -- and that is why, in a certain sense, you and your sons from the war will be forever strangers. If, by the miracles of art and genius, in later years two or three among them can open their hearts and the right words come, then perhaps we shall all know a little of what it was like -- and we shall know then that all the present speakers and writers hardly touched the story.”
A World War II veteran came up to the producer in tears, saying to him, "I've waited all my life for someone to show how it really was."
