I am not fond of self-advertisment but I'll take the opportunity to mention that I write a blog about the same thing, WWI day-by-day.  Check it out if you're interested

And to keep this on topic I highly recommend the 1946 film Theirs Is the Glory.  The Battle of Arnhem reenacted by the men who fought in it.  On Youtube & Netflix.

hi all,
im (edit) adding to this thread to help others like myself toget recommendations of good WWII documentaries/ Documentary series about specific subject matters.

Also,
To find documentaries by description that people may need help finding.

Case in point.
I saw a Documentary some time back about American tankers and the harrowing experience.
It had a scene about a Sherman being knocked out by a Panther in Cologne, and a heavier Pershing tank take out the Panther, to emphasize the weakness of the Sherman, which the documentary was about.

But besides the Youtube Documentaries showing this scene, I cannot locate the full documentary anywhere, and it doesn't help that I don't recall what it was called.

The documentary ended with the narrator showing each veteran interviewed,stating how many tanks they escaped from through out the war.

I even briefly saw that scene narrated by Tom Hanks and I cannot locate THAT documentary either.

Anyone who knows what I'm referring to (The 1st documentary and perhaps the Tom Hanks one), i'd really appreciate the assist

Thanks, that's the scene.


The shooting war was the one narrated by Tom Hanks.

Any idea of its title? I beloevw I asked in that video too but didn't get a reply

1944

Saw this gem yesterday. Was worth the extra long wait (released in estonia in february, took this long to get over the sea to finland) and I highly recommend to go and see it if you get a chance. No idea how widespread this will get (germany, UK etc). Was very freshing to see something about the estonians for a change but from both point of views, really good change of pace. It also showed that there were finnish assistance in the making of this film since the combat scenes are very much alike the scenes in finnish war movies.

900 Days, about the Siege of Leningrad. Very nice documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckwBm_Xi0z0

Ooh, thanks for posting, might give that a watch.  Is it just about the 1940 campaign, or Norway during the entire war? 

And because I'm already posting here, here is an excellent 6-part British Channel 4 documentary about the Spanish Civil War.  It was made in the 80s and had access to a number of very high level interviewees, including Franco's brother-in-law, who played a large role.  It's also quite neutral, interviewing both Republicans and Nationalists, from soldier, milicianos, international brigadiers, generals, to civilians, politicians, and cultural figures.  Highly recommended!
