Historians wanted it, they got it! Netflix's WWII in Color: Road to Victory is a docuseries which dives into the world of WWII. The episode of Dunkirk makes sure that every little detail of Operation Dynamo comes to the surface. It starts with some of the British governments problems when fighting the war. With Neville Chamberlain retiring as prime minister and Winston Churchill becoming the new prime minister, the British government has to deal with a prime minister who wants to have a new approach regarding the war. Churchill wants to fight until the end while the government wants to have peace negotiations. When the BEF is stuck in France there is only one option: fight at Dunkirk. At D-Day this so called Operation Dynamo gets its hold. Early in the morning the British troops arrive at Dunkirk and try to invade France, with succes! Road to Victory: Dunkirk is the first episode of the series and sets the tone. A great historical docu series with outstanding sorts of images and videos and nonetheless, experts who light up all the key moments. However, the narrator brings the level of the series down, his voice is the one you would hear on a unserious radio platform or podcast, with this kind of a subject there can be much better narrators. However, the visuality and storyline is amazing. After watching any episode of the serie you are keen to watch every other episode. If you are interested in history and most of all WWII, I highly recommend this serie. WWII in Color: Road to Victory has everything you need to know about all the major events of the Second World War.
