One of the reasons the WAW series was so respected is because of the inclusion of participants on both sides, policy makers, combatants and civilians.
One example springs to mind of it being slightly ahead of its time. The laying bare of outdated colonial attitudes and supposed superiority of the white man which directly contributed to the fall of Singapore, the largest British military defeat in history.
Worth watching the full series with introductions by the producer Jeremy Isaacs that contextualise each episode, also the extra programs with historian Stephen Ambrose.

Do those programs mention the firebombing of Dresden and all the mainland EU/commonwealth soldiers fighting with the UK forces routinely?
As I really don't get all this "WE WON THE WAAAAAAAAHR" stuff, maybe it has nothing to do with those programs though.
