If you are looking for an accurate overview of the events of World War II, look elsewhere. The series is more or less told from a French perspective and exaggerates the role of France. For example covering small battles of hundreds of men involving the French, while overlooking or glossing through massive battles of hundreds of thousands of men in Russia and the Pacific. I hold a degree in history and have something of a World War II buff for many years and It pains me to say that this documentary is one of the most overtly biased World War II documentaries I've ever seen. If you are interested in history and looking for an relatively accurate, detailed, and neutral portrayal of the war, I suggest you watch "World War II In Colour" and stay far away from this series.
On the other hand, if you are looking for interesting footage, look no further. The footage is some of the best you'll find. This isn't the same footage you see played over and over again on all the other documentaries. The footage refreshingly contains new, fresh images, that. Topics are wide and varied: civilian life, military battles, prisoners of war, the devastation of cities. All in all, the footage is the backbone of the documentary.
