Title: 'Hollywood' should be kept away from War documentaries
Review: Very disappointing - typical 'Hollywood' treatment of pushing the "human story" behind the history rather than just telling the straightforward history of the war and using the color footage to that effect. Most annoying part is the use of 'celebrities' to voice over the actual people who were there. Right at the very beginning you start to hear a Jewish German survivor explain his past and his view of war but then the producers start to dub over him with an annoying actors voice! Why? The guy who actually lived through it was fascinating - do the producers think the celebrities give more credence to the stories or did they just want to mix with LL Cool J? Don't waste your time on this 'documentary' full of padding, over dramatized voice overs and the same clips being repeated. Get the original BBC series World at War instead.
