Where to Watch The World at War
- Sean TalmadgeJuly 24, 2026The definitive World War II documentary, this is it. Covers all aspects of the war from all sides. Some of the ideas are a bit dated, but that too is a bit of history. You get to see how they viewed the war only 30 years after its ending. The main benefit of watching one as old as this is you get first-hand accounts and hear from those that experienced it. Laurence Olivier adds his commanding voice with its rich resonance. This is not a mere film, it is an experience.
