The production of "The World At War" series involved creating 26 films, each an essay on a specific aspect of the war. The goal was to show the war from a neutral perspective, avoiding official footage that often presented a biased view of events. Instead, the crew aimed to interview ordinary people and those who worked behind the scenes to provide a more personal and balanced portrayal of the war's impact on soldiers, civilians, and victims. The series aimed to let viewers form their own opinions about the war's events and consequences, rather than being presented with a predetermined narrative.
