Thanks Dickie.

The definitive series on World War 2. Anyone still watch this?

What’s your favourite episode?

I watched it the first time around and still watching the repeats on "Yesterday".

Absolutely gripping. Laurence Olivier narrating. It doesn't get much better.

The episode about the village the nazi's destroyed that has been left untouched is a masterpiece and brings.tears.to my eyes. Oradoour-sur -gane.
There are a few.villages.in Europe that have been left deserted. Evil in its sinister aftermath.

An absolute masterpiece of a series, one of its main features being the interviews with the people who were actually there.
The ones that stick in my mind are the Russian female soldier describing taking Berlin (always refers to the Germans as 'the fascists') and the Japanese civil servant who was present at the meeting when their war cabinet and the emperor were discussing whether or not to surrender (FFS) after the second atomic bomb.
And of course good old Wynford Vaughan Thomas talking about his experiences as a reporter at Anzio.

Yes. The pictures in the cemetery showing the dead. Babies and kids.

How do human beings sink so low?

Yep.

Killing and misery on an industrial scale.

It's shocking to think what mankind is capable of,even today.
