this be a fantastic series first and foremost . it be very well do and very interesting . a a huge wwii buff and i have learn a lot before see this series . one of the best thing this have go for it be all the interview with past individual back when the war be relatively fresh in their mind and comparatively speak that be . it be nothing against the men that you see get interview in the program of today and it be just that most of these men weren not really involve in the upper echelon of what be happen then . one of the best part be the narrating by sir laurence oliver . i would recommend this to anyone that want to learn about wwii and but really think only the die hards ( such a myself ) will want to buy this or watch it more than once . my only real complaint about this entire series be that some of the fact aren not quite as accurate a we now know . especially with the information about soviet union be exaggerated or just plain inaccurate in place . that information be now different we now know because of the fall of the ussr . overall a fascinating look at wwii and a must see for any serious wwii historian professional or personal alike .
