It sux. The production sets, music, actors, many of the commentators, and some totally misplaced archive footage. Youngsters who don't know much about that period of world history, i.e., high school graduates after 1980, might benefit from it.

Until someone presents more info about the Tommy who had Hitler in his sights and didn't shoot, I call B-S. I thought the bit about Hitler trimming his moustache to allow a gas mask seal interesting - also wonder if it was true.

Agree with all the comments about the Enfield/Mauser and B-17. I'll add 1 - Patton riding on the M3 Stuart tank which was developed until around 1940.

Needed more info on Stalin, but after all, this is the Hitler Channel.

Didn't know about the role of the Japanese in WWI or their presence at the Treaty of Versaille. I will have to follow up on that.

Agreed, They must have spent more time auditioning the Hitler actors than all the others put together.

Probably NOT when you see all the pics of German soldiers on Armistice Day wearing long moustaches. Would they all be risking a lousy seal on gas masks? Moustache size and style therefore had nothing to do with the seal quality of gas masks.
