This is a very good series but of course it should be followed by watching the second part which is called War and Remembrance. This Winds or War covers those things leading up to the war and should be watched prior to seeing War and Remembrance. There are other series which should also be watched if you are really interested in WWII and one of the best of that type is World At War which is one of the best documentaries about WWII I have ever seen. As someone suggested, this one and W & R and W at W should be watched along with Saving Private Ryan to get a good take on what war is all about. The plot line was based on true events in both books which were well documented in foot notes and the appendix in Winds of War and also War and Remembrance.
