Just a really well done documentary. I wish they had more time to go into some more detail about certain things, like it would be perfect if this was a series like Ken Burns' "The War".

If anything what it accomplished was to show how all military occupations no matter who's doing them in whatever circumstances are always brutal and horrible. It was concentrating on WW2 but anyone can easily draw comparisons to say Israels occupation of Palestinian territory, or America/Britain's occupation of Iraq and so on and so forth down the list.
