Title: An Incomplete History Lesson.
Review: One has to wonder if this is only a part of a series and they simply forgot to finish it...the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the early years of the war which leaves less time to cover what is the central theme of this documentary, namely Hitler's increasing paranoia concerning the OKW and how his decisions shaped the final year of the war. This film takes you to Operation Market Garden (the attempted capture of Arhnem) and then abrupty ends. Such compelling events as the Bulge, Operation Bagration, and the defence of Berlin are not covered. Not a bad documentary, for example, the OOB comparisons of the Army of 1940 and 1944 were very interesting, but overall, it could have been so much more. Not recommended as a purchase but OK as a rental.
