Great series, too bad OP didn't watch it or you wouldn't be saying half the stuff you are about the most costly conflict in human history.
QFT.
For Americans, this series is particularly good because it is from the Brit perspective. Instead of celebrating DDay and the Battle of the Bulge, it tells the story of the European theater, the background of the conflict, the action in multiple countries like Norway, Italy, Burma, etc. Its not a single arc to VE day, rather there are highs and lows along the way. Also, there is a lot about the Eastern front, which is largely ignored from the U.S. perspective. It also has a thorough discussion of the atrocities, failures, etc. which is something an American documentarian would likely ignore.
