Terrible pronunciation of key historical names and foreign language words. Stalin (did I hear 'Stone'?) or Zhukov (Dzukow? ROFL) as an example. German word for kitchen - 'die Kuche' is spelled 'cutcha'...
Didn't narrator get any guidance? How about checking google for correct pronunciation?
Really hurt my ears.
Apart from pronunciation, there is a lot of comments that makes no sense without explanation of historic context, for example Ukrainians welcoming Germans as liberators, but why?
Ever heard of 'Holodomor'? When Russians in 1932/33 caused 4 million deaths from starvation, by blocking the food to Ukraine?
Obviously, this documentary is not on the level of BBC productions.
