Conflict aroused pundits talk about World War 2 in the flippant manner of sports coverage. And they coloured in the pictures.

Who needs yet another documentary on WWII?Nobody.Who will watch it anyway?Oh,go on then. For while there are some snippets I hadn't heard before,the most part is just a decent overall chronological covering of what went on from '39-'45.The footage itself is actually pretty patchy,with lots of repetition and some suspiciously inauthentic clips,but it does its job in helping the story along.An episode or two more to focus on the fall of Berlin and the post-war ramifications would've helped too.
