Editor's Take

Working from colorized archive, this account covers the last months of the Second World War in Europe as the Allies pressed toward victory. It follows the final battles and the collapse of the Third Reich while keeping the human cost in view. Colorization is the film's evident gambit, lending immediacy to footage usually seen in black and white; some viewers will find it clarifying, others distracting. As a chronicle of the war's end it is sober rather than triumphal.

This documentary chronicles the final, desperate months of World War II in restored colour, as the Allies closed in on victory in Europe. It follows the last battles, the collapse of the Third Reich, and the human cost of a war reaching its end. The colourisation lends immediacy to scenes usually seen in black and white. Vivid and sobering, it brings the war's climax into sharp focus. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
