This is one of the best documentaries I've seen about the events during WW2 in Europe.
I am a WW2 buff (as a lot of people are) army brat who grew up in Germany and have read countless books and watched many documentaries on the subject. This docu is the kind you want to watch - it's thorough, has first hand accounts, shows footage from the time - footage that isn't as widely seen too; I saw photos and video footage I've never seen before ...
it's not censored at all, which I appreciate too. In order to understand the chaos and destruction of the time, we need to see it and hear it - every horrible detail and image so as to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. This documentary shows all of that and more. I found it sad, informative and very interesting. Especially the stories from those who were just ordinary people who had to see this happen and could do nothing to stop it.
While I believe children need to know about this, I will say it IS quite graphic, so I suggest not watching with little ones around.
Give this doc a watch, especially if you are interested in the subject. It is not like any of the countless other docs I've seen - it brings different information and images that will be sure to inform and surprise you.
