   It's mostly interesting for historical value, because you get a lot of on scene footage from the war. Of course it's stuffed with propaganda. Canadians are good in saying "we are so awesome" just as well apparently. Things like "the wounded soldiers can't wait to get back onto the battlefield with their companions" make you frown. A thing I liked was that it doesn't only cover war footage. You get to see a lot of daily life material as well, showing how life went on in wartime. It went on too long though. When Germany surrendered there were still lots of episodes to go, so I lost interest a bit in the final third of the episodes.
   I rated it 6/10 mostly because it's interesting material, not because of its cinematic values, but you couldn't expect that from such footage. I didn't bother rating the separate episodes differently. Would have been a sliding scale between 6 and 5 and back or something like that.
