The World at War and more

Posted by Victor Khomenko on February 11, 2011 at 06:57:44:
Got my set, and by pure coincidence in mail from Netflix came another war documentary - "World War II: Behind Closed Doors: Disc 1"

I watched both, that and the first episode of W@W.

Turns out, I have seen W@W before, probably more than once, long ago, but it was still interesting. At first the narration seemed too skimpy, jumping too much, more poetic than informative, but eventually it settled into reasonably dry documentary style, although even then a person without already firm knowledge of that part of the history would most likely miss some key story elements. Things like the destruction of SA took perhaps just 30 seconds of screen time, for instance.

The other film deals with the same subject, but very differently, and provides an extremely important insight, so I strongly recommend it too.

The sub-story on slaughter of Polish officers is chilling, and continuing our Films discussion, I would strongly suggest Wajda's Katyn for perhaps the most horrific account of the events.
