Is it my imagination or does this series focus not on victory against
the Axis but on what an oppressive and unjust nation we were at
that time?

My guess is that PBS and Burns agreed to make sure no more than
20 minutes of real war events would pass before another segment to
remind us how awful the USA was. And that we had it coming.

It's also my wild speculation that Burns didn't undertake this
project (a large, tough one) until his sometimes-collaborator
Stephen Ambrose had gone to his reward. I suspect Ambrose would
have looked at this finished product and said "Ken, the millions of
civilians murdered by Hitler, Tojo and Uncle Joe after the war
all ended up D-E-A-D. Those are the real, indisputable victims!"
