The 26 episodes are exhaustive enough by themselves, but there's a further wealth of information on the extended interviews and other documentaries on the bonus discs, making this a great watch for anyone who is interested in World War II and modern history in general. |
I remember watching all of these when i was very young on tv with my family, it was really fascinating and a great series but i'm pretty sure it contributed greatly to me developing depression as i got older.
It should be shown in school, or at least a couple of parts of it because people should never forget what happened, but when people are a bit older, maybe 14/15 years old alongside that "They shall not grow old" film.
I think i must have been about 9.
Pretty much wiped out any childhood innocence i had left.
