This deserves a zero star. But you guys don't give me an option to do so -- which is why it gets a one star. First, the series focuses solely on Western troop movements in World War II, selectively omits Allied Powers' gains thanks to the Red Army, makes it look that the combined forces of British, American and Red Army stormed the streets of Berlin. No. that is not true. The Red Army deserves our gratitude in freeing several concentration camps, ghettoes and for smashing the Nazi resistance in Berlin. The series also indulges in excessive tainting of Soviet leaders and remains tight-lipped about American war crimes and the games of deception as if it is a country run by saints. Mum again about the crimes of Mr Churchill. Worse, oral histories are amplified to distort the big picture. It is not worth watching unless you want to get brainwashed into believing propaganda as truth. It is also monotonous and dry. No finesse even when it comes to lying through the teeth. Lies by bad liars!
