Not sure if this is the right forum, but was hoping someone would see this and had something in mind. I'm looking for a good documentary that goes over the causes of WWII, the during, after and then the post war era.

i watched this one a few years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_at_War

long so it has time to get to a lot of stuff

The history channel has great wwII documentaries. All different kinds. Check with your public library or something.

Hmm I recall a decent thread in this maybe a year or so back - cba to look for it.. I think bebe may have some info

If you are looking for something to help with a school paper then a single documentary is not the way to go. Books would be more helpful and easier to find, however if you insist on being lazy you will want to watch at least 5 different documentaries.

If you are doing this for personal interest then band of brothers and the pacific, while not completely factual, are based on the lives of real soldiers and are a really good look at the stuff that went down.
