Nicely put together.

Britain an the Blitz (BatB) is not your "ordinary" war documentary - it does not focus on; strategic decisions, frontline fighting action or the ongoings in the minds of people on the battlefield. Rather it focuses on the social and fatiguing aspects of life during wartime. It does so pretty well.BatB covers, as the title implies, the period of the most severe bombing of Britain during the Second World War - from the 7th of September 1940 to the 11th of May 1941.We are let into the world of some those affected by the relentless bombing of indiscriminate targets. Civilians as well as military, women as well as men, children as well as adults. The whole documentary is in colour which arguably adds to the sense of "being there".BatB offers no insights into the rationale of "this type of warfare" - it does however offer a few compassionate glimpses into the world of those affected. In so doing it offers a different kind of insight into the effects of war and tells a story that, arguably, should be told more often.

Thank you Netflix. An honest heartfelt tribute.

It is a shame that so many unkind and untruthful posts are allowed to try and distort the truth. This is the first Netflix documentary about the British and WW2 that isn't altered by the "message" and I am genuine in my sincere thanks.Ella Wright you should receive every appreciation. Watching this I thought often of Raymond Briggs "Ethel and Earnest" because this documentary is so faithful to everything my parents and grandparents experienced. Despite what revisionist cruelty might say these were good people standing up and fighting alone against real tyranny.My grandparents and my two uncles lived through this. My dad played in the craters and collected shrapnel. My family lost lives, had lives ruined. But they never ever regretted fighting tyranny. This documentary honours them and tells their story truthfully.I wish those posting reviews with their unkindness would have watched the thing before posting. Thank you again Netflix.
