Yeah, narrated by Tim Piggot-Smith though I may have miss-spelled that. I probably threw people off with the wrong decade. Anyway I ordered the set from the usual place.

Gosh, totally forgot about that one. It was a PBS series and an excellent one.

Does anyone remember the music and intro/transition I am thinking of? I suppose the US could have gotten a different version, and it is actually The World At War? I think I remember it having more of a strategy or large scale view than World at W a r.

Victory at Sea? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That was from the 50's... The only 70s era documentary show I remember aside from The World at War was "GI Diary. But I don't recall the opening at all. Everything else that I remember watching then was older, 60s or 50s vintage. 

 

F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!

U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

N is for NO SURVIVORS...

WW 2 Documentary from the 1970s

Does anyone remember a documentary series in the 1970s about WW II that had really cool theme music and a lead in with images of maps and a set of dividers. I know this is not much to go on, but does anyone have a memory of the title and who produced it? I don't even remember if it was public television or commercial. 

FYI, not The World At War narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier.
