Well said and I could not agree with you more. While dated in format, the WAW series lacks some of the latest historical information we now possess. Having said that, the content is nonetheless superb and the entire series stands as likely one of the best, if not, the best WW2 documentary series ever made. If any WW2 history buff has not seen it, it is a must.
Agreed! Truly the best educational thing that’s come across my way in a very long time. I love how in depth it is. Just being able to hear from the generals and such on all sides.
I am Canadian and I was 9 years old when I saw the first episode and heard the music, for that period it was simply fascinating, it opened the door of ww2 history for me and until today I study every aspect of that period
The series has some historical issues, especially the lack of information on code breaking ("ENIGMA") as that secret was still kept at the time of its production. But the interviews are fantastic; for example Speer, Donitz, a huge range of other senior German officers and civilians. Equally Bomber Harris makes an interesting appearance, like a kindly elderly bank manager ... Overall the series is superb, and large parts are very harrowing. Try watching it from the start.
Thank you for letting me know about this! That makes total sense. I’ve been watching them in order episodically. I’m at episode 12 or 13 currently. Truly eye opening.
The World At War is THE BEST Documentary Series ever made.

I watched this back in the seventies when it first came out. It's very good.
I watched it when it first came out, with my dad who was a holocaust survivor.

I found this on Google, if you just type in The World At Wat you should find some other options as well. Hopefully this works for you.

Wait until you get to the Final Solution episodes
Have watches it several times over the years. Consider it a must see if one wishes to understand why the doomsday clock is ticking down today.
I've watched the world at war since I was 12 years old but sadly the ones you seen there Many passed on
