"The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war" - Desiderius Erasmus
Yes, the series is excellent. Interviews with top ranking people who were actually there (it was filmed less than 30 years after the war ended), hearing stuff straight from the horses' mouths rather than having a historian's spin on it. Once you've watched the whole lot OP, you might not be so keen living in WW2. Utterly shocking stuff revealed in The World at War. Executing children, mass rapes, SS soldiers snatching babies from their Russian mothers' breasts and throwing them on a bonfire...I nearly wept to hear people's accounts of how utterly savage and dehumanising it all was.
