I never saw this, but it seems like an intriguing project:
The dilemma that faces historians and other chroniclers of World War II is, obviously, that the World War II generation is passing very quickly. First person narratives and eyewitness experience aren't the only ways to approach either history or political science, but they can be quite important. At the same time, the massive volume of writings on World War II can sometimes serve to obscure rather than illuminate the possibility for further contribution. This is to say that it takes some work to figure just how and why a particular narrative is relevant.
