Followed by one about his last days in the bunker as I remember,
though I didn't watch them.

The era of the best WWII docos has past because so many of the
veterans have died now that there are far fewer to interview. They'll
keep on being made until there's an even bigger war though.

My favourite WWII doco series is "The Secret War", by the BBC from
the 1970s. It covers the top secret development of crucial new
technologies during the war. So many technologies that are now
fundamental to the modern world really got their start back then, and
it's amazing what they came up with.

Of course colorization and modern enhancement methods will keep them
coming.
WWI-film docos benefit from colorization, and archives from Eastern
Europe after the Soviet period adds to the overall supply. Who knows
what lies in dusty attics after the old ones die.

Docos not in wide screen will probably not be aired anymore.
