Great WW2 films I haven’t seen before
Maybe the story is not 100% complete, and maybe it gets a little confusing because so many things happen simultaneously throughout the world, so it’s understandable that they didn’t cover every single aspect and that it’s a little too much “French biased”, after all it is a French documentary. For example they didn’t cover the Balkans at all, and there was one of the most complicated situations in the whole WW2. Maybe not the most important, but certainly interesting, especially in Yugoslavia, where there was in effect a three-way civil war under Nazi occupation, between royalists, communists and quislings going on simultaneously with the armed resistance to Nazis. So that in itself is a situation that would require it’s own documentary, and I can see that the authors maybe did not wan’t to get into explaining those difficult circumstances when it may take too much time. But the sheer amount of film material shown, that I’ve never seen before, is astonishing to say the least. I watched every episode eyes wide open. And it’s that WW2 video material itself that makes this documentary worth having in one’s collection.
pleasant, but not perfect
It is a France 2 documentary and as such very french biased.Many french sensitive issues (Vichy.. only the top a disgrace, or whole french populations under Vichy a disgrace ?! ), liberation of France by active troops in terms of men, material..how much (or rather how little) was french, etc. are left under the carpet.
All the world-war issues are looked upon with french interest/viewpoint..if there isn’t one, then there is no attention to it or only as a 5 second footnote (Fights in Norway? Holland ? Belgium ? Convoy war at Atlantic ? Balkan fights Tito resistance, Soviet fights in Balkan countries ? MarketGarden ? Japan’s fights and occupation in china,New Guinea,etc).
However french issues which are marginal to the outside world are given broad attention (french ministers crisis 1940, negotiations Roosevelt with Gaulle en Vichy favoured representative in 1943, Bir Hakeim stand, LeClerc background (ahem Zjoekov’s background ? Monty’s Background? Alexander’s background?), Indochine taken over by Japan, French resistance actions (no resistance elsewhere?), De Gaulle’s return in France and focus on his political problems).
Like before-mentioned text: Many films have been aired before..only a few are rare (from French sources). All are coloured in, which gives it a special touch-but not all are coloured in thoroughly (only face one colour, one colour for uniform, one colour for bushes, one colour for ground).
It’s nice to see, and it keeps you captivated…but it is not THE best documentary, and certainly not “neutral”(unbiased).
