A little bit of a let down as I felt it would have been better a two part documentary but never the less not bad, the colour footage was interesting and some of the info was as well. Mussolini had bankrupted the country with his 10 year war and could not back out when Hitler dragged him in to a full European war.

Not bad but a bit rushed for such an interesting subject and far too much 'colourised' footage rather than original colour film I thought.
Good to see the subject getting an airing though.

Cheers,
