Yes, it is basic and some key details about WW2 and strategic choices are left out. But as someone who has watched a lot of WW2 movies, series and documentaries, i gotta say that the footage looks great. Because the footage is so well restored you get the feeling that you are right there. Usually WW2 footage is in black and white or you can see that it is really old. Here the footage sometimes looks like it is from a war not so long ago. Therefore I think this is a great documentary to show in schools. Children usually see WW2 as something old and really long ago and can't connect to it because it looks so old. Now, with this restored and colorised footage the children will feel some kind of connection and similarities with the people that are shown in this documentary.
