Each film in the 26 episode series had to be an essay on an aspect of the war, because the length and separate aspects of the war was far too much to cover in detail. Jeremy Isaacs talks about the production process and the aims of the project. The intention of the crew that were involved with the various skills in making 'The World at War' had no desire to use film from British, German, French, Polish, Russian, Japanese, or the Americans because of their specific means of showing the winning side of a specific action. Rather, an effort was made to interview people who were not part of the establishment, but rather the common people or assistants and secretaries of historical persons. Film was researched for those films from cameras where there was no special subject, but those that would allow the viewer to make their own decisions about what they had just seen and heard. Let the viewer be the judge. Jeremy Isaacs resurrected studies of military history. He desired to portray the true reality of how life and death throughout the war years affected soldiers, sailors and airmen, civilians, concentration camp inmates and other victims of the war. The portrayal of key conflicts without the issues of specific moralities that were to kept from the television audience of their nations. The real results of engagements the world over were to be seen in their aftermaths. Written by Michael of lillym_325@yahoo.com See less
