Very good watching, not as good or in depth as The World at War, but seeing it in colour is superb, and the narration by Robert Powell is great, although he isn't Laurence Olivier.
There are a few things that irk, they seem to gloss over how brutal some people were, the Japanese for one, and Stalin another, as he was worse than Hitler, though, as I said, this is really not that kind of in depth documentary.
Others on here have stated, this seems to swing the way of Britain winning the war, well, if Britain were to have surrendered in 1940 when Hitler wanted us to, not only would the Nazis have control of our armed forces, as well as our colonies armed forces too, which meant they would have been able to defeat Russia.
The whole of Europe would have then been Nazi, and America would have to fight Japan and the Nazi force!
Food for thought.
