definitely not a waste of time, one of good documentary about world war 2

[sudeera1153 · 8/10 · 21 July 2020]

I have watched many documentaries about world war 2 and this one is peak. a nice conduction and watchable graphics. but i need to say this documentary is too short, you should keep this doc. up little longer. but overall this is better than i expected.

A unique and excellent documentary

I am fascinated by WW2 and have read a lot of books on the topic and watched quite a few documentaries and movies. I have also visited a few of the sites featured in this program.

This title is excellent, for many reasons.

It has a unique approach and is easy to understand and that for me is so important.

The drone footage gives an excellent perspective on the areas where the battles were fought.

The CGI footage is very good and gives you a real sense that you are there, witnessing events unfold.

I also liked the graphics, which made it simple to understand how the different armies made progress (or not) throughout the battle.

The chronological account makes it easy to understand the events.

All-in-all, I really enjoyed this and just wish the producers could make one of these for other major WW2 battles.

If I was a history teacher, I'd show this to my pupils as it's an excellent documentary to pique one's interest and from there you can delve deeper into the subject.

Thanks and well done to all involved.

Terrible

This is the documentary they're going to show the new generation, because its so dumb down and censored of almost all violence, reality and overall gut wrenching feelings of war. Their is little to no backstory, history, or heart to the doc. what an embarrassment to our veterans.

The Germans never invaded Turkey!

[ahmetgezer · 1/10 · 26 November 2020]

There are mistakes in the 3d maps used in the movie. The Germans never invaded Turkey! The scenes where the Russians show the Germans pushing towards the borders are wrong.

Why the music?

[thai3 · 2/10 · 23 July 2020]

Could have been far better without all the music over narration ruining it. If a documentary is any good it does not need any music pumping out all the time to try to make it dramatic, had to give up on this rubbish.

Great CGI, Narrator and Music not so much

[whazzupskippy · 5/10 · 12 August 2020]

The graphics and information were great but the music was horribly mismatched, and Tom Brokaw was a sub-par narrator. With better or no music, and different narrator 10/10.
