The World at War - 36. Making the Series - A 30th Anniversary Retrospective

The series originally had 26 episodes. Producer Jeremy Isaacs asked Noble Frankland, then director of the Imperial War Museum, to list fifteen main campaigns of the war and devoted one episode to each. The remaining eleven episodes are devoted to other matters, such as the rise of the Third Reich, home life in Britain and Germany, the experience of occupation in the Netherlands, and the Nazis' use of genocide.
This 26 part series first aired in 1973-1974 and is particularly interesting because when it was made a lot of people from all sides who survived the war were still alive and were interviewed. Eleven more episodes about the making and further detail were added later on, not sure when. Posted for historical research and educational purposes.
