Fall Asleep To The Entire Story of WW2 (3 Hour 4k Documentary)

From the long shadow of the First World War to the quiet after the surrender in Tokyo Bay, this is the whole story of the Second World War, told slowly and in order. Poland and the fall of France, the Battle of Britain and the long Atlantic, Barbarossa and the morning at Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad and El Alamein, the home fronts, D-Day, the last winter, Berlin, and the end in the Pacific, in eighteen calm chapters. The film in this video is real archive footage from the US National Archives, labelled on screen, and the maps, dates and documents between the films are drawn for this video. Where a film shows a different place or a staged scene, the label says so.
