A lot seems to be missing here. Most historians agree, and there can be little doubt, that when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, the die was cast. While this documentary does cover Operation Barbarossa to it's end at Moscow, it goes no further. But there was still 3 years of heavy fighting ahead for the Wehrmacht in Russia. It fails to mention the Battle of Stalingrad that turned the tide, the Battle of Kursk which marked the last German offensive, or Operation Bagration which decimated Army Group Centre. Incredibly, 80-90% of the Wehrmacht was tied down in Russia.
While the US entry into the war and the D-day invasion were important moments in the war and brought the war to a quicker conclusion, they were not crucial to the defeat of Hitler. There is way too much time spent on the Western Front, secret weapons etc. and too little time on the real reason Hitler lost the war. Obviously this documentary was produced in the west and you can tell since it sees the war from an American and British perspective.
If you want to see a better documentary on Hitler and the war, I would recommend the War of the Century, The World at War episodes 3,5,9,11,17,19,21 and Apocalypse, the Second World War.
