World War II: From the Frontlines (2023)
The lack of historical context is what makes this series mediocre

The series tells the story of ww2 with a remarkable lack of context. There is little explanation as to WHY things happened. However, the picture restoration is impressive. It can be useful as an introduction to ww2, but this series is useless if you seek a deeper historical understanding.
There is no mentioning of the Great War, which was an important factor as to why ww2 started in the first place. Nor any mentioning of why Germany and England started bombing each other's capitals.
As a documentary, these shortcomings ruin the experience.
It is however interesting to hear what people who actually lived the war experienced. I'm just frustrated by the lack of historical context...
