Die Befreiung Europas: D-Day bis Berlin

You could argue that "Liberation D-Day to Berlin"does a reasonable job of describing what the title suggests - but that would have to be in a void of all the other documentaries already covering the topic. Arguably more to the point -you would have to look past some pretty poor use of the English language and be willing to endure a frivolous use of over-rhetoric and hyperbole.

National Geographic's launch of "a brand new" WWII documentary, on VE-day, feels way more done by necessity than for actually having something "new" to say on the subject. It's a shame as there are many new angles from which to show this topic - presenting something so "middle of the road" of what's already been done, so many times before, feels like a waste.

If you know very little about this topic it may be worth a go. If you have some previous knowledge - a wide berth is likely the best advice.
