Deep detailed account on what happened historically during WW2. Produced while we still had a lot of people alive from the war and with their memories of it still intact. Huge and fascinating archive footage from the war that were presented for the first time in this series. Adding to the depth is one of film's biggest personalities giving his voice (Laurence Olivier) who narrated it. Only some newer "hidden secrets" from the war that has been revealed after 1973 is missing - and while gripping stuff it is impossible not to take long breaks between episodes due to it's heavy and sad subject matter as the brain need to process it all.
