It is a fine antidote to the drivel put out by film studios... which, for the most part, show the war being almost entirely fought by the U.S.A, with the British involved in a few skirmishes here and there. Little do they realise the scale of British fighting and loss. Perhaps even more importantly it gives coverage of one of the most undervalued (particularly by Commie-bashing Hollywood) that Russia suffered more losses than any other country in WWII. Without their sacrifice it would have been a different outcome.

I have a passion for military history, and believe The World at War is best documentary about World War 2. There is no bias with the series, just solid documented facts. The series documents battles, strategies, leaders, personalities, equipment, what the conditions where like etc. The strongest part of the series is the interviews with the people who were actually there, and many are prominent people. (I E Albert Spears). Olivier is a great narrator and creates a level of excellence for the series. The World at War never becomes dated, and can be watched repeatedly. I give the series a ten out of ten. Watch the series on the military channel.

At the top of IMDb's TV show rating we have 'Planet Earth' and 'The Wire'. To get a score the show needs at least 5,000 votes. This show at the time of writing has just over 3,000...and a score of 96%.So, up in second place with 'The Wire'.This is a truly stunning piece of work. The footage and narration is outstanding and the interviews revealing.A must.Get a copy asap.Second only to 'Breaking Bad' in my opinion as the greatest TV series of all time.

I remember watching this series along with my parents in 1973-4, I was 19 at the time and had studied European History at A level. I still watch the series when it is repeated on cable TV in the UK, as it currently is. The only question I have is the episode regarding the occupation of Holland. and question "why Holland", why not France or Norway or Yugoslavia? or any other country occupied by the Germans. The timing some 30 years after the end of the war meant that many of the senior combatants where still alive and could be interviewed, be it from the axis or allied sides This is the ultimate record of World War 2
