# fuck off. War's a hoot ;)
I loved this series. I don't remember when it was first shown but I associate it with my childhood. It has been shown again recently in it's entirety on one of the 'here's all the repeats +1' channels and as soon as i hear that opening music I'm a kid again.

# Also must see (even though more from a USA perspective)
Victory At Sea - my dad went into the USN in 1939, was at Pearl Harbor and was right in the thick of it all the way to the end. He gave the series a big OK.

# there was a lot of luck (and a few good leaders to over-rule the dead weight at the top)
and having un-bombed manufacturing sites for ships, tanks and all the rest, plus lots of oil... could have been a lot worse if Japan or Germany could have made effective strikes on the US.
