Hello I have always been a fan of good war documentaries. I like to fall asleep to documentaries pretty much every night. For a while I was watching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary which I found extremely well done. Now I am looking for a good WWII documentary or a few select ones to watch next. Do you guys have any recommendations?
If you have Sky then there is only one Documentary that gives you the whole story - "The World at War". Made in the early 70's it for me is still the definitive account of the conflict. It's in 26 parts and narrated by the late Sir Laurence Olivier. You'll find it on UKTV History although the last run only finished a week or so ago.
Ditto on this, the sad thing about this is that some of the people that were interviewed for the programme died before it was aired. :eyes:
There's also a documentarys on History, 'The Last Days Of WW2' & 'Hitlers War'. Two fabulous series. :thumb:
Victory at Sea is a favotite of mine. It is a really good 4 -CD collection of all the battles in the pacific. Great action. Being a Navy family , we are partical to the sea action.:silly:
Gotta agree, the answer is "The World At War", and it's hard to see this ever being bettered. Also a mention for this film, which I have not seen yet. It's quite hard to get hold of as you'll see... Target For Tonight This is a must-see film by anyone's reckoning? Unfortunately, another film with the same name has been produced, and with similar subject matter. See HERE The top user comment points out that this is a completely different film ! :nade:
I have one that I can recommend. My brother got it for me but it is on the Vietnam war but it is very good. It is called the Battleground Vietnam: War in the Jungle. It is very good and interesting.
The World At War UK TV History Channel appears to be showing it back-to-back, and non stop at the moment. :thumb:
