I love it!

This documentary is a valuable resource for those looking to learn about history. The film provides a neutral and informative perspective without taking sides. It instills hope and features remarkable and unique footage. Even if you're familiar with all the war documentaries out there, this one is worth watching. The narrator, Kassovitz, presents the facts in a straightforward and enthusiastic manner. The direction, editing, and authorship are apparent but do not detract from the presentation of facts.

The documentary covers a broad range of topics, including the Blitzkreig, V2, Normandie, and the Nazis' unlikely allies in dominated Slav countries. It delves into Hitler's madness, including his derogatory remarks about Churchill and Roosevelt. The documentary briefly touches on the Nazis' willful allies, such as the Islamists who fought against the "common Zionist enemy."

The film does an excellent job of describing the war's events without any bias or superfluous information. However, the Pacific front is barely mentioned, and more information would have been beneficial. The documentary is somewhat Eurocentric, but that's the price of admission.

Overall, this documentary is an excellent resource for those interested in learning more about the war's events. It's engaging and even emotional at times. The documentary's two most memorable moments come from Churchill's famous prose, which could bring tears to your eyes. If you're interested in history, this documentary is a must-see.
