    The World at War is a little bit old. It made a good effort at that times, but new archives show that what was truth then is not. We know more now about the dark side of all the protagonists. I do enjoy Soviet Storm, series made by Russian TV. the Battlefields Series are one of the best for the moment.

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."

    Somewhat true, but I still like it the best, and the new research mostly deal with the eastern front, which is already under-represented in the series, only 4 of 36 episodes deal with eastern front.

    It doesn't go into details and numbers so it aged quite well (compared to most documentaries about ww2 anyway). Very much worth watching imho.

    Sorry for derailing the thread everyone.
