World War II: The Apocalypse

This is what I've been watching all day today while finishing the curtains (when I made the curtains last year, I didn't hem them or finish the detailing at the top and I've been meaning to tackle it for a while).
This series is excellent. It's in colour, which helps a lot. And to be honest, because we've only seen nazis in movies, it quite takes you back seeing the key players in the flesh, not being portrayed by actors, just going about their day-to-day tasks. It's in equal parts chilling and fascinating.
We were taught the First World War at school, probably because it was clearer who was on whose side in that conflict. I know so little about the second world war, I didn't know that there was quite so much chopping and changing.
Right, the next episode has just started, it's Pearl Harbour in this one. I've been to both Pearl Harbour and Hiroshima so it will be interesting to see the footage in this episode.
