I have not witnessed real war but I certainly hope I will never will, no one will. What we have now is a product of history, and it cost them so much to the point that we can't understand right now. I think this video should be shown to the new generation. Funny how saints are known better than true heroes of war, right? :D The appalling number of fighters who lost lives giving trust to incapable and ambitious leader end up being buried unknown. Now, World War II means almost nothing to those who have never been actually there. What's ironic is that these pawns of war died, imprisoned, suffered under the selfish and egoistic command of leaders who stayed comfortably making decisions inside their palace. One of the best documentaries I have watched, so far. Very easy to understand, complete with geographical mapping, actual footage and beautiful narration. Precisely the documentary I am looking for. Should be shown in all high school history classes. Overall, A+ for history buffs - really ties things together. E.G.: the competition between the British and American generals (Montgomery and Patton) in the 2-pronged Italian invasion and who would get there first and get the PR benefit glossing over the Philippines and MacArthur overlooking the garrulous Japanese ambassador and his wordy daily reports decoded via Enigma that gave the Allies a view into Japanese strategies and conditions, including the navy. It curiously left out some major pieces of the story.

Yes it leans toward the British view, but they produced it. The vertical topic focus confuses the parallel things, so it's sometimes hard to track.

When they were filmed marching in, they were glorious when routed broken.Īll is not perfect though. Really, all these men were so alike - young, healthy, active. The combination of detailed movies in color really brought the people to life and made them more in the present than the usual B&W views into the past, and the military films from the Allies and Axis (less from Russia) were fascinating.

This is a phenomenal and comprehensive review of WW2 realpolitik - the players, the ideologies, the technologies, capabilities and all the rest of the factors that played into what happened.
