10/10
Exemplary WW2 documentary

Warning: Spoilers
WORLD WAR II IN COLOUR is a thirteen-episode British documentary series whose content is self-evident from the title. Narrated by the great Robert Powell, this takes a quick look at the major events and battles of the war, told in chronological order from the very beginning. The twist here is that the footage has been colourised, a process which is sometimes effective and at other times a bit distracting. As an avid viewer of war-related documentaries, I found it all completely fascinating, even thought I know the story well from having read books and watched other documentaries. It's on par with the excellent French miniseries APOCALYPSE: THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
