Comprehensive WW2 documentary? Read below

by Retrospective84

I want to watch something that's:

  1. Comprehensive (covers all theatres and events of the war)
  2. Detailed. (Hopefully containing tidbits about underground movements and espionage happening, like in Denmark in the early 40s)
  3. Biographical (gives a short history of the main protagonists like Hitler, Stalin and the like) Now it's not possible to cover everything in one documentary, but if you know the names of the ones which when watched in a particular order, will portray the war best, please let me know.

Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular documentary, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
