I can't recommend this series too much, and I have watched pretty much every documentary about WWII; not a one of them compares to this series, each episode of which is a small masterpiece detailing a tiny piece of the gigantic story that is World War II. Watch it and be amazed!
Documentaries tend to focus too much on "the big picture." This series takes a different tack by focusing on the small battles that, as a whole, comprise the tapestry of WWII.
I'd also recommend the series "The World At War" from 1973. Old, yes, but beautifully and comprehensively done in twenty-six episodes, and narrated by the incomparable Laurence Olivier. This series is still the gold standard for the genre, and you can binge it for days.
