What is the best documentary about World War 2?

By far the best in my experience is ‘The Great War’. 26 episodes, it’s the spiritual forebear of ‘The World At War’, an equally immense documentary about World War II. The fact that it was filmed in 1964 puts it closer to the Great War then we are even to World War II.

World War II ended with the unconditional surrender of Germany in May 1945, but both May 8 and May 9 are celebrated as Victory in Europe Day (or V-E Day).
