re: Best WWII documentary on netflix?

My father was a WWII nut and bought the Time-Life series for "me" - when I was about 7.

Yes, those books still have value. We can recall lots of good media like that from the generation that lived during WW2. We did grow up on that era of WW2 historiography.

There is one area in which the newer historiography might be weaker than the stuff from the previous generation and that area is the influence of politics on historiography. What I mean is that today, the study of History is heavily influenced by PC concerns, so, perhaps some of the conclusions of history that we see more recently are unduly influenced by PC considerations.
