Good episode and great series overall. Probably the best WWII documentary ever made IMO. :yeah:

Looks at the human side of the war very well in addition to the history, plus some great footage.

I remember watching the series in 1973(can't recall if that was the initial release or not :hmmm:). I was 8 yo. Probably the one thing that got me hooked on WWII history.

Bought the whole series on VHS about 20 years ago.

I've seen some cheaper versions on DVD as well. Look around, they're out there and well worth the price.

Hell, $75 is well worth the price!:rock:

Definately worth a watch, a great series and very well narrated (By Lawrence Olivier ;)).
Also good is The Nazis, a Warning from History.
