The film has been colorized, stabilized and enhanced, and all the audio cleaned up. No historians pontificating here. You see and hear only the combatants from all sides, their families and civilians who survived. Close ups make you feel you are there. Moving and astonishing. The scenes of kamakazi pilots taking their last sips of sake, and the film from the liberation of Dachau death camp are indescribably moving. It is difficult to imagine the research required to assemble and edit the films then enhance their sound and visual quality. I think Netflix and Rob Coldstream, the producer, have not only produced a gripping series, but done a service to the world by presenting World War II to those who, as I, had not lived through such a titanic era.
