World War II: The Price of Empire (2015)
Simplistic view on history
28 September 2023 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
One might argue that the simplicity of the narrative is almost communist by nature. All allies are portrayed as heroic liberators - even the Russian Red Army. There is no mentioning of the crimes against humanity that everyone in the political elite even back then knew The Red Army was committing - from state sanctioned and enforced sexual abuse to systematic murdering campaigns carried out on the "liberated" nations. Finland is mentioned to be a puppet of Germany - nothing could be further from the truth.
The authors have not burdened themselves with the complexity of the topic - I can only call this a simplistic propaganda aiming to please an uneducated viewer.
