I finished watching this and it was an amazing experience. This documentary series easily deserves the highest rating possible.
Can you recommend me more good war documentaries? It doesn't have to be WW2 ofcourse.

Jason Sullivan
Luis Hughes
Roberto Rosselini's war trilogy is a document basically.
Carson Wood
>holocaust episode
David Butler
Well that didn't take long.
Brody Gray
There literally isn't any as good at TWAW. Sorry.
Christian Anderson
The Color of War was good.
Nicholas Morris
There's a WW1 version of World at War
Ryder Perry
Bet you voted for Hillary faggot
Sebastian Ward
>mfw Trump is President and there's nothing you can do about it
Robert Green
Ken Burns Civil War is great. I'm excited to find out his 18 part Vietnam doc is airing this fall.
Brandon Foster
Errol Flynn's The Fog of War and The Unknown Known
Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie
Jaxon Murphy
This is probably my favourite
Afterwards I bought a 10 dvd pack with a complete history covering every campaign, from the Japanese skirmishes in eastern to the final days in the pacific
But the problem was, the music/audio was terrible. The music was so loud I could barely understand the voice over.
I gave up by the Siege of Malta, I couldn't understand anything.
Samuel Bennett
Ken Burns Civil War. I'm not American and found it great to watch.
Owen Jones
I really enjoyed Dogfights from the History channel. It gets very in depth with pilot interviews and hardware nitty gritty.
The CGI recreations aren't too jarring and some of the stories are unbelievable.
Aiden Diaz
Wrong. As an European I can laugh as he slowly takes your rights away, destroys your nature and isolates you from the rest of the world with his diplomatic incompetence.
Easton Miller
This. I like war doc's that take time to explain things like basic military strategy and movements on the battlefield.
Angel Roberts
This is the only one that compares to World at War imo. But of course it don't have such great interviews with primary participants.
The BBC docs on WW1 and Spanish Civil War are informative but not in the same class.
Victory at Sea is entertaining and has some good music but it doesn't go into detail.
Ethan Myers
American Experience is one of my favorite series
Isaiah Russell
Hitchcock's "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey" is pure kino. eat cock nazi.
Mason Bennett
Forget what it was called, but that series that looked over the battle service of the USS Enterprise during WWII.
I recommend Russia's War as well, you can obviously tell it is Soviet Propaganda (which makes it all the more interesting).
Juan Hall
I recall one that was pretty good about the War of the Pacific, can't recall it atm :/
Jaxson Peterson
There's one I saw on the history channel way back when it was the Hitler channel called 'Last days of WW2' which is a really detailed look at the last 6 months of the war. I thought it was great when I watched it, not sure how it holds up though.
Josiah Gonzalez
Thanks lads, I added the recommendations to my watchlist.
Ryan Jenkins
Not documentaries but...
Max(2002)
Cabaret(1972)
Brandon Watson
>18 part Vietnam doc
HOW COME I DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THIS?
Benjamin Edwards
Ihanks OP I forgot I had downloaded the whole series months ago but it just got lost in hoard of shit I have on my NAS.
Also if you liked this watch The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It's more a personal story of Hitler rose to power.
Xavier Davis
true naval kino
Lincoln Hernandez
I just found out about it myself. I'm pumped.
Jonathan Morales
Oh man, get hype.
Absolutely most aesthetic "police action" ever
Joseph Diaz
It's 10 parts. But 18 hours long. Can't wait.
Leo Green
Civil War is the GOAT war documentary. His Baseball documentary is great too, as are a few others.
I saw one other guy suggest it but the Fog of War is fucking stellar. You hear McNamara, Kennedy and then Johnson's Secretary of Defense, talking about all sorts of behind the scenes shit, motivations for Vietnam, etc. He's incredibly candid and gives a very unique experience on the 60s.

Angel Gutierrez
The bloke that narrates WaW sounds exactly like Andrew Ryan. I keep expecting him to start ranting about parasites.
Carson Flores

You mean Laurence Olivier?
Blake Hughes
Sorry I'm not familiar with journalists or whatever from the 70's.
Ryan Miller
...
Ian Gomez
Soviet Storm
Tell the story of WWII's eastern front in exetreme depth. Lots of concentration on troop movements and officers in charge. Made for Russian television but pretty good stuff.
Joseph Powell
WW2 in HD colour was quite good
Jonathan Kelly
Forgot link
Benjamin Campbell
The whole American Experience catalog is great even the non war stuff. I recommend the one on the Donner Party.
This one Victory in the Pacific is pretty harrowing.
>mass suicides in Saipan
>firebombing Tokyo
>Okinawa invasion atrocities on both sides
>Yamato's sacrifice
>The Bomb

That one was really good. This had some great Pacific theatre stuff.

If you're a Brit (or can use a proxy) the BBC has a couple of collections of some their documentaries about the British army over the last fifty years:
bbc.co.uk

It's not very bombastic, a lot of it is training and showing how boring 99% of the time is, but they're all quite interesting.
