    A Valuable Addition to World War 2 Libraries

    For World War II students, this A&E documentary is a very worthwhile investment. It's from 1974, and the new release of other archives and subsequent documentation make this nearly 50 year old documentary seem a bit dated at times. Newly released materials have been restored, generally in color, and the analysis by modern historians is a bit fresher for modern viewers. However, this is balanced by the fact that, in 1974, many of the principal players were still alive and could be interviewed. We are treated to interviews with Arthur "Bomber" Harris, of Bomber Command, Traudl Junge, Hitler's secretary, Karl Wolff, assistant to Heinrich Himmler, General Mark Clark, of the Italian campaign, and many others, including Albert Speer, longtime inmate of Spandau Prison and Minister of Armaments for the Third Reich.

    Best WWII Documentary Series

    This is without question the finest and most unbiased documentary on the Second World War ever produced. I was so happy to find it available on eBay.

    One of the very best WWII documentaries.

    Has lots of film footage I had not seen anywhere else. The narration by Olivier is superb. Since this series was made in the 1970s, many of the relevant personalities of the war (Speer, Eden among others) give interviews and personal perspectives. New sets are quite pricey, but used ones can be had much more reasonably. But a must for WWII history buffs.

    Tthe title accurately sums it up.

    I absolutely love learning about history... The World at War series is a solid capture of history, at a time when Germany was executing and trying to destroyi the entire history of the Jewish population. The 26 episodes are riviting!

    The Perfect Documentary to Study for Our Times

    If it has happened; then, it can happen. And, if it could happen then and there; then, it can happen HERE and NOW. In some ways, the documentary: The World at War is about “once upon a time called RIGHT NOW — except, the weapons weren’t as good; and, the climate wasn’t threatened by global warming. As you watch The World at War, start a checklist of the countries involved; the description of the political conflicts; and the resources being fought for; and, if it doesn’t make you need to change your underwear; then you just weren’t paying attention. One legacy of WW2 is an aphorism often attributed to Albert Einstein which essentially says that based on the technological terror crafted in World War 2; World War 3 would be fought with nuclear weapons. And, the next war waged would be be by people using rocks and clubs. I hope he was wrong. Watch this documentary and reflect on today. Those who don’t know their history may live to fight a war with rocks and clubs. If it has happened; then, it can happen. And, if it could happen then and there; then, it can happen HERE and NOW. Watch, study, and enjoy this documentary. This WAS who we were. Have we changed?

    BBC's well reserarched documentary on WWII

    BBC's indepth look at the causes and events that shaped WWII. The series uses a lot of original footage and holds nothing back. I would advise any adults watch the content before showing it to a younger audience. It is extremely graphic at times and may be upsetting to some viewers. That said it is an excellent series and worth the watch for anyone interested in WWII

    The Definitive Documentary on World War Two

    The World at War series is an amazing and comprehensive documentary. It covers the history of WWII from the causes of the 1920s to the aftermath of the Cold War and into the 1950s. The personal interviews and stories very much bring home the impact of the war on individual human beings (soldiers and civilians). WWII also was the first world war to impact civilians to a very large degree (loss of life, property, psychologically, etc.) and still has reverberations to this day and continues to impact current day societies. Approximately 45 years on and it is still one of the most definitive, touching, and thought provoking documentaries on WWII. Lest we never forget the World at War.

    Epic history of WWII

    Memorable, but now hard to find, British series using footage from multiple sources to tell the story of World War II. One of the highlights is the narration by Laurence Olivier. The music is also fantastic. More important now than ever with neo-Nazism emerging, and historical education under increasing assault.

    An unbelievable work that covers the entire world war two saga. Wonderful in every sense.

    I have wanted to watch this series for many years. Finally took the plunge. Totally worth the price and trouble. This series is unbelievable. You will not believe the work and the craftsmanship that went into it. It is one of the best series I have ever seen.

    History at it's best.

    This was an incredible documentary when it first aired in 1973. A complete history of WWII done by Thames television who have made some of the best documentaries, with great footage of the actual events. Narrated by Lawrence Olivier, it is totally engaging.
