World On Fire might not be the most in depth, the most heroic, the fiercest critique of World War Two, but it has a sense of honour and grace to it that many television series have neglected, overshadowed, or even pumped up as if to show the period of waste and fear as though it is one big adventure: a celluloid advert for the want of war.
