this be by far the best war documentary ever make . from the very beginning of the first episode when sir laurence olivier describe the horrific event in oradour sur glane the day the soldier come . to the final day of the war when the mushroom cloud appear over japan and i never miss a second of this classic series and i remember it well even though it be screen way back in 1974. each and every aspect of this tragedy be cover in detail . this whole series should be compulsory view for a many of the world child a possible so that the tragedy of world war two be not repeat and that bigotry and hatred and greed and intolerance be not confuse with patriotism or religious zeal .
