This documentary, "World War II in Color," was incredibly enjoyable. It consists of 14 episodes that provide a well-documented overview of the war. The series starts by covering the events that led to World War II in Europe and Southeast Asia, then moves on to the beginning stages of the war, where Germany, Italy, and Japan made quick advances in Europe and Asia. The series also discusses the mistakes made by the aggressors, the fighting back by the allied forces on different fronts, and, ultimately, the victories over Germany, Italy, and Japan.
The unique aspect of this series is that advanced techniques were used to colorize the original black-and-white footage. While there are instances of artificial coloring, it is mostly unnoticeable. Watching these scenes in color adds a sense of realism that is lacking in black and white.
There are numerous documentaries about World War II, but "World War II in Color" should be highly regarded among them.
