WWII in Color: Road to Victory

Historians wanted it, they got it! Netflix's WWII in Color: Road to Victory is a docuseries which dives into the world of WWII. The episode of Dunkirk makes sure that every little detail of Operation Dynamo comes to the surface. It starts with some of the British governments problems when fighting the war. With Neville Chamberlain retiring as prime minister and Winston Churchill becoming the new prime minister, the British government has to deal with a prime minister who wants to have a new approach regarding the war. Churchill wants to fight until the end while the government wants to have peace negotiations. When the BEF is stuck in France there is only one option: fight at Dunkirk. At D-Day this so called Operation Dynamo gets its hold. Early in the morning the British troops arrive at Dunkirk and try to invade France, with succes! Road to Victory: Dunkirk is the first episode of the series and sets the tone. A great historical docu series with outstanding sorts of images and videos and nonetheless, experts who light up all the key moments. However, the narrator brings the level of the series down, his voice is the one you would hear on a unserious radio platform or podcast, with this kind of a subject there can be much better narrators. However, the visuality and storyline is amazing. After watching any episode of the serie you are keen to watch every other episode. If you are interested in history and most of all WWII, I highly recommend this serie. WWII in Color: Road to Victory has everything you need to know about all the major events of the Second World War.

This TV series is a vivid and engrossing exploration of WWII. Through the lens of detailed commentary and captivating historical footage, it covers the war's major turning points with depth and clarity. The application of colourisation techniques serves to elevate the series further, infusing the archival footage with an extra layer of engagement.

Although it's not without its critics, who have highlighted some historical inaccuracies and a perceived US-centric bias, the series shines in its broad coverage of key global events. This aspect, in my view, constitutes its most significant strength, offering viewers a sweeping overview of this monumental period.

Despite these noted imperfections, the series holds immense appeal for anyone interested in WWII. The successful blend of educational insight and compelling storytelling it offers makes it a rich and rewarding viewing experience, delivering both knowledge and entertainment in equal measure.

First time I have ever reviewed abything on IMBD, but the narrator sounds incredibly cheeky, almost jovial while describing one of the worst wars known to mankind. Would be nice if they remade it with the same narrator as last time.

This useful documentary provides the average guy with important bits of history that perhaps he's not aware of. Examples are the greatest dogfight, the greatest tank battle. It also shares with the viewer monumental miscalculations that lose decisive battles, the folly of man, and the grim, steely determination of nations to win a war no matter the cost in human life.

There are vivid footages that drive home the futility and senselessness of conflict. A case in point is the pointless destruction of a 6th century cultural treasure in central Italy, the kamikaze pilots and the young ill-trained German defenders of bombed-out Berlin.

The resource persons also explain, in hindsight, the questionable motives of invading Iwo Jima and Italy.

In the end, the biggest war in human history is the gravest loss to humanity.

This is an engaging film. It examines the great events from both sides of the conflict. Is it wistful thinking to say that we should learn not to repeat it?

Just finished the riveting WWII in Colour with a distinguished voice the whole time. The basic narrative voice we're all used to for many a year in these serious docs. I turn this one on rearing to go and I am immediately am so annoyed I had to turn it off for a moment. I'm sitting here listening to this feminine mans nasally SSSSSSSssssssss lisp and is raking my nerves. This is a voice for Top Model or some kind of dumb reality show. This voice is a man who seems to be the complete opposite voice I connect to this MANLY serious topic. Sounds like hes smiling and having a great narrating something he knows nothing about. Bad move. Terrible move. I took a 10 down to 6 for this. Ooppss this was a woman's voice I just looked her up. Well. I still hear it the same way.
