    Let me count the ways

Why is this a fantastic effort by the BBC to document WWII?Both black and white  and colorized original footage is used. When no footage exists, they create incredibly realistic scenes.In most scenes, characters and eyewitnesses speak their native tongue (with subtitles); in some cases, a reader talks over the native speaker. In any case, using native speakers makes the scenes realistic; it doesn't get in the way of the narrative.The series relies on eyewitness talking heads; its sobering, watching this series in 2020, that most of these people are probably now dead. It's haunting.The recreated battle scenes leave you feeling like you're there doing the fighting.In the original footage, the series does not hold back on some pretty grotesque scenes.The actors playing the major personalities do very good as they are synchronized with newsreel footage.Overall it's a great way to take stock of what was sacrificed to create that world we now live in.

*by K***I on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2006*

A remarkably deep and penetrating analysis of a war that changed the world forever has come to us from the BBC, and I must confess that I am impressed by the scope of this production.With commentary provided by noted Hitler biographer, Ian Kershaw, and other noteworthy eyewitness accounts and featurettes, these all raise The BBC History of WWII to the status of near-epic. Comparisons to the World At War, I'm afraid, are not really applicable here. World At War was meant to be a comprehensive examination of WWII from A to Z (Autobahn to Zeitgeist?), this series offers a more analytical examination of specific issues and their far-reaching consequences on the war and the players involved--not a battle by battle account of the war.  "The Nazis: A Warning From History" is a case in point.  In depth interviews reveal German psyche and attitudes towards Hitler and the Nazi party in the early days of the Reich; for some, joining the Party was the "thing to do" and for others, Hitler was the answer to restoring German prestige in a time when most of Europe was reeling from the physical and economic devastation of WWI. All fascinating stuff that goes beyond the scope of battlefield's winners and losers and bodycounts.In my opinion, the installments on Nazi Germany and Auschwitz are worth the price for this magnificant collection of over 30 hours of programming. Anyone who has World At War would do well to purchase this set as well since this offers an up front and detailed look at a war that still haunts us today. Some of the re-enactments utlilizing actors, especially those of the Battle of Dunkirk, are questionable, but do not really detract from the overall quality of this set.My grandfather served with the Alpine Division in the Italian Army before he emigrated to the Bay Area in the late '30's, so the installment on Italy's involvement in the war was of particular interest and well-handled by the BBC team. Some great footage was preserved and included in this set.But why only four stars? Well, to echo the claims of the other reviewers, the war against Japan gets little coverage confined to the one disc "Horror in the East," but don't let that keep you from purchasing and enjoying this series.

This would be good if it weren't so one-sided.  They mention Patton once and spend a huge amount of time telling us how wonderful Monty was.  That's nonsense.  Monty didn't beat Rommel, the RAF and British Navy did.  Rommel left his tanks in the desert when they ran out of fuel and ammunition.  After D-Day the Brits did about 10% of what the American did and the Brits landed on the easy beaches.
