“Britain and the Blitz” on Netflix

An incredible new documentary with colorized WWII archival footage showing how Britain endured the eight month air raid offensive from Hitler’s Germany starting in September 1940. I’m watching it now and it’s spectacular.

Thanks for the recommendation - I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of WWII documentaries and I haven’t seen many on the Blitz.

It was short and sweet. Didn’t go on and on like many other documentaries. Netflix earned their money with this one.

I just added this to My List. Glad that it's getting some positive feedback here on the DL. Perhaps this will be my evening watch today.

I think it's odd that Brits use "blitz" to refer to what happens in a blender or food processor. One would think it might bring up unpleasant connotations. But I guess there are few people around who remember the Blitz.

Thanks OP!

I haven't watched it yet but I will, I can't imagine how scary that was for the Brits.

World War II is so insane, it’s no wonder we can’t forget about it. It’s like something you see in a movie and skeptically question whether it could happen in real life.

every person in the US should be forced to watch this and see the cost of isolationism. the US abandoned Europe in lead to WWII. It was only thru back channels and chicanery that FDR and Churchill found workarounds to support the UK before US entered the war.

Trump and his fascist puppets wants the US to return to 1938/39 and stand back as our allies are destroyed by our enemies.

And by building up their armies again, we might have allies destroying each other.

Because colorization catches my attention longer when it comes to Blitzkrieg!!!
