Fantastic series! I think of myself as a minor history buff it was a little embarrassing to realise how much I didn't actually know about WW2, e.g. The fighting that took place between the British and French forces was a jaw dropping revelation for me.
The colourisation is so well done that you soon forget that it's even there as the makers, rightly, concentrate on the stories behind some of the main events of the war - it simply adds authenticity and depth rather than being the USP of the series itself The series is also highly effective in getting across the sheer scale of WW2, as much as we might think we already know this - the series helps you more fully appreciate that this was a history defining event and that an entirely opposite outcome was absolutely possible. An alternative outcome which would have shaped the world we know today very differently and much, much darker - we should never forget and pay tribute to the ultimate sacrifice made by so many millions of our forefathers.
