Totally agree - BoB was one of the best mini-series that I ever saw. Very touching, lots of action. Stylistically gorgeous. From what I understand - limited at best - it was pretty accurate.
And the collest part of all - the series,w hile following the same characters throughout, focuses each episode on a different aspect of the war - whether it was the guys on the front lines, the rookies, the nurses, the officers, etc.... and they had more than one director involved, which gave the series multiple messages within multiple viewpoints, all under the careful eye of Spielberg and Hanks, both self-proclaimed WWII nuts/buffs.
Really great stuff. In many ways, better than Private Ryan, on the whole, and better than most movies on a per episode basis.
Oh, and the DVDs come in this truly righteous packaging that folds out like artillary rounds. It's a nice addition to your collection.
