  The entire Battlefield WW 2 series is of upmost quality and it has so much more impact hearing true historian narrators than fake voices! It doesn't get any better than this!

  Back in the late 60's I knew a missionary in Brazil that had been a belly gunner in a B17 out of England during WW2. He related that at one time his flight got a new pilot and the new pilot wanted to get better mileage so the belly turret was removed and a sheet of metal was placed over the space. On that day they went on a bombing run over Belgium. The belly turret's new job was to assist one of the side gunners. During the run he casually looked at the sheet metal and there was a three-and-a-half inch hole right in the middle. He looked up and saw another three-and-a-half inch hole in the ceiling of the aircraft. An 88 shell had just run through the aircraft. Had his flight still had the previous pilot he would have been in the belly turret. His life had been spared by events and a merciful God.

  Britain never stood alone, it had the entire commonwealth by its side.

  I've watched a massive pile of WWII docs, but in terms of "what happened" this series is the best of them.

  Long before the US Air Force joined in the action, the RCAF were contributing greatly.  They fought in the Battle of Britain.  Everyone seems to forget or overlook the Canadian contribution.

  My father was a B-24 pilot in the 15th, logged 30 missions over Nazi territory. Gen. Leon Johnson, Medal Of Honor winner (Ploesti) gave him his Air Medal one day in Foggia. Dad said it was a slow day to hand out medals. Years later he ran into Johnson in a hotel lobby, asked him if he thought strategic bombing helped shorten the war. Johnson said the only thing he was certain was that it killed a lot of fine young men and civilians. I saw an interview with Johnson years ago where he basically said the same thing.

  Another installment of the best ww2 series of all. &nbsp;Clear and concise, good battle footage and not cluttered with all the &apos;I was there&apos; interviews. &nbsp;Two thumbs up.
