Fun fact: You know why WWII has been an incredibly prolific genre for history documentaries?

Hours and hours of public domain footage taken by the U.S. military. All of the Nazi footage is also public domain.

They make them because they're as cheap to make as you could make a history documentary. And people eat them up anyway.

TIL, I was somewhat wondering why there are SO many WWII documentaries
