as fought in Russia. It is remarkably well done and detailed with facts I'd never known
before. This modern series was produced by Russian TV.

The World at War is my second favorite.
The World at War was the best. I believe it was the first million dollar documentary?
Yes, Victory At Sea - grew up on the show when it first aired.
Favorite song about that time: Odessa by the Bee Gees.
The World at War is now available on Youtube.com.
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to watch it again.
Plus, “Victory at Sea” is available as a 3-disc Blu-ray set with cleaned up video and audio.
100% World at War and Victory are my favorites
The World At War will always be the Gold Standard.
But I also highly recommend the World War II Series on YouTube

I watched the entire World at War series on TV c.1973, I was ten years old.
It was life-changing even before I got to the “Genocide” episode.
World War 2: The Call of Duty -- shows a day-by-day account of activities in World War 2. IMHO it's great for knowing what all is going on at the same time.
Battlefield is another good series

Recently, I ran across this documentary, in two parts, dealing with the German vengeance weapons as they affected England.
This is on the “War: The Untold Stories” channel. There are many more to choose from, but I haven’t watched them.
This is one of the best I have seen. If you read the comments, I am not alone in my opinion.

Exactly on the button. I was 10 years old in 1973 when I watched this series as well. The Genocide episode repeated in my nightmares numerous times. During this time my friend's grandmother was visiting and I saw her concentration camp tattoo. To this day, every time I see a tattoo I think of the inhumanity that mankind is capable of.
I will give Call of Duty a shot. Thanks
Yep. Even the genocides we know of from ancient times were far more humane even by modern standards. Yet in modern times, Mao and Stalin were each worse than Hitler...
The World at War is especially fantastic. Great detail and strategy maps.
It beats all for background sound too, and talk about kicking the sleeping pills, this show is for you. There are so many 2 hour episodes you can run it for a year or two until you’ve know it all.
IIRC, it was aired on WTBS. I watched it then and found it quite compelling. It still is.
