Did anyone suggest a series based on Guy Sajer's "The Forgotten Soldier" yet? Plenty of material there. One problem with doing the German side for an Anglo-American audience is the politics. I expect there's still more than a few people who would be upset with German soldiers being portrayed as anything except "the Bad Guys."

I've always wanted to see different outfits highlighted in a series. You could focus on a theme or particular battleground like the Battle of the Bulge and then highlight true stories from individual companies within a division. You could skip back and forth between the Pacific and ETO. Shoot, you could do Navy and AAF episodes as well. I work at the National Archives on WWII stuff and I see movie worthy stuff every day.
