Combat Trains (2015)
accuracy is not important to the production company
I was watching the episode about the Nazi trains when it came to the section about the German invasion of Belgium. When the voice over said that Belgium was invaded in 1939, I realized how shoddy the documentary was. I have no time for inaccuracy in documentaries. This may seem petty but anybody with more than a passing knowledge of the war should know better than to say Belgium was invaded in 1939.
The World Wars (2014)
Teaching BAD history
It was bad enough that Chamberlain is shown flying to Germany in a Lancaster bomber, a plane that did not exist at the time, but the true problem was the fact that they showed just Chamberlain and Hitler discussing the fate of the Sudetenland, nobody from France, nobody from Italy.
The statement was made at one point that French and English troops were stationed in the Rhineland when, in 1936, Hitler sent troops in to that area. The British and French troops left in 1930.
The Japanese did not go to war in the 1930's because they had been snubbed at Versailles, they got all of the German possessions in the Pacific at Versailles. That is hardly a snub.
The US did not enter WWI because of the Zimmerman telegram, but because Germany announced unrestricted submarine warfare would resume.
There is plenty more but I could not stand to watch all of it. I turned it off about halfway through.
