La II Guerra Mundial en color: El camino a la victoria

This useful documentary provides the average guy with important bits of history that perhaps he's not aware of. Examples are the greatest dogfight, the greatest tank battle. It also shares with the viewer monumental miscalculations that lose decisive battles, the folly of man, and the grim, steely determination of nations to win a war no matter the cost in human life.

There are vivid footages that drive home the futility and senselessness of conflict. A case in point is the pointless destruction of a 6th century cultural treasure in central Italy, the kamikaze pilots and the young ill-trained German defenders of bombed-out Berlin.

The resource persons also explain, in hindsight, the questionable motives of invading Iwo Jima and Italy.

In the end, the biggest war in human history is the gravest loss to humanity.

This is an engaging film. It examines the great events from both sides of the conflict. Is it wistful thinking to say that we should learn not to repeat it?

This is a near 10 in terms of docu-series. The videos, interviews, and stories are all top notch. My only gripe here would have to be the atrocious narration. The previous docu-series "Greatest WW2 Events in Color" had a MUCH better narration. That one deserved a 10/10. It's a shame they didn't go with the same because this could've been just as good.

Whoever is narrating sounds like they are a radio DJ smiling as they speak, which doesn't really fit when they are describing Nazi atrocities. They need to get someone like Brian Cox to do it, that would be a great improvement.

Wonderful documentary with great footage and a must see, however the narration is almost unbearable. Even after a few hours of watching it you will still not get used to it. But the doc itself is awesome. K.

This series contains many precious footages, and the best part is, they are all in color. It doesn't bore you with too much details regarding the background of the events and operations, so this is best enjoyed with some basic knowledge of the war. I find this highly educational and that it adds another dimension to my understanding of this critical event. The episodes are fast paced and the soundtrack is energetic.
