Oh I get that. I just wanted to make the point as I think for a certain age group it is probably their main source of knowledge of WW2.

It’s flawed but as I don’t know that later generations got better knowledge at school or on tv. My secondary education (80s to early 90s) had nothing I didn’t already know. That said, my grandparents and their siblings were adults during ww2 and between them had experience of the “home front”, occupied France, war in theatreS from Europe to the Far East and even as PoWs in Germany so I listened a lot to them.

It has been a few years since I last watched it but that sounds pretty likely to me.
My point was more that it isn't't tub thumping pro British glorifying war nonsesne.
We watched the holocaust episode for History GCSE. Required a parental permission slip. The only time I've seen a classroom of schoolchildren sobbing in unison.
