The Second World War generated more documentary film than any other event in history, so the challenge is not finding it but sorting it. This collection favours films that deal in strategy, testimony and consequence over stock-footage montage: the campaigns and turning points, the home fronts, and the voices of the people who lived it. 100 of the strongest, free to watch.
