There have been many programmes made charting World War II, but this series is exceptional.
Not only is each programme authoritative, definitive and informative, but - unusually - they are made from colour archive film. Unlike most programmes that make use of black and white vintage film, the extraordinary colour footage featured here brings home the horror, the triumph, the tragedy, the war-time spirit and the victory in an extremely moving way.
Conflict carries a heavy human toll, and this programme examines the tragic loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, and the lasting scars suffered by those who survived.
This series was aired to critical acclaim on The History Channel.
