World War 2: Day by Day

Yeah, the narrator provides ample wft pronunciation choices and enunciates... oddly at times. You can get past it easily.

However, the steady, grinding chronological presentation, the masses of historical video footage, and just the sheer scope of the coverage has made what was always a chaotic mess of information into something I can follow. And the geographical thoroughness of the coverage shows me that my US-centric education never really reflected the true international nature of the war.

Altogether it made me appreciate the sacrifices, the losses, the destruction, and just the sheer awfulness of the war. It doesn't editorialize, it just sets it out inexorably.
