The award-winning Thames Television Series, narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier. A televisual milestone and the benchmark for all war documentaries that followed, The World at War presents the story of World War Two, from its beginnings in Hitler’s pre-war Germany to its horrific climax at Hiroshima. Made with the full co-operation of the Imperial War Museum and narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier, this powerful twenty-six part series combines eyewitness testimony with rare archive footage to tell the unforgettable story of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. A digital restoration, this is The World at War as it is meant to be seen – in its original fullscreen format with the maximum picture area from the original film materials now visible onscreen.
