This is a very good series.
Having taken in the first 4 series, I can confidently say this was a refreshing and enjoyable format to the WWII documentary drama genre.
Yes, other reviews have pointed out that the tanks used in the reconstructions are incorrect, the uniforms are only 97.3% accurate and the same actors are used to portray different people in different factions across various episodes. Yet, regardless of this, it's nice to see a real tank being used in a reconstruction, the uniforms are but a minor detail that most will not pick up on, and, after all it's a relatively small budget production, not a 700 million dollar Hollywood film.
The reenactments are a breath of fresh air and aid in the retelling of the stories being told. Having watched a lot of documentaries about this war the scenes were a particular highlight instead of the normal approach of reusing footage as in many other documentaires.
8/10, would definitely recommend for those casually interested to long time WWII docu viewer.
