Berlin 1945 (2020)
9/10
A first-person look at a war-torn city
16 August 2023
This is so much different from most war documentaries. Instead of focusing on the psychopathic war criminals who fed their young boys into the meat grinder and managed to get millions of women and children pointlessly killed in the bargain, this series presents the perspective of people who were living in Berlin and the foreign armies who conquered the city.

The narrative is created out of the personal journal entries of Berliners, army vets and others. Read by voice actors. And matched up with some amazing film footage that are, at times, frank and disturbing, but always fascinating.

It's like a ''Rubble Film" shot in real time.

I couldn't recommend this highly enough. I guarantee most people have never seen anything like it.
