If anyone is interested: Indy’s Korean War series just began a few months ago and is off to a very interesting start. Same format for the most part.

Done for WWI, WWII, and now starting Korea as you mentioned. The Great War channel was the most popular endeavour, and was created by a different production company than the latter two, though Indy Neidell hosted every series.

Appreciate the detail. Are you affiliated with these projects?

I am not.

What was this? Were they replaying the news coverage from. WWII on a real-time daily basis or something?

They produced a video each week for six years outlining what was going on in the second world war. Quite an undertaking and quite a historical document in itself.

The full 868 video playlist is here: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsIk0qF0R1j4fP7wN99AtQE...

They were covering what happened every week as if the war was happening in real time. They also covered tactics and equipment, key events and people, spying, and war crimes in specials and side series, and followed D-Day and Pearl Harbor hour by hour.
