The documentary "Apocalypse: Apocalypse of World War II" presents the full picture of World War II from a novel perspective.
In today's ever-changing international situation, it is very necessary to review the history of World War II.
This content records many little-known stories of World War II and uses a variety of rare video materials to show it, including footage shot by amateurs, highly confidential videos, and unpublished news records from the year.
The uniqueness of the documentary is its new way of presentation.
Many documentaries related to World War II are usually narrated in traditional ways.
However, "Apocalypse" showcases this extraordinary film in a form that audiences haven't seen before.
The re-excavated videos have been color enhanced to give the audience an immersive experience.
When introducing a certain battle in Europe, the film uses clever editing and color adjustments to make the smoke in the picture seem to rise right in front of the audience, which is difficult to achieve in other documentaries.
The documentary not only shows the footage, but also includes ordinary people's views on the war, giving viewers an insight into the perspectives of people from different social classes.
This civilian perspective is indispensable.
The experiences of ordinary people in war are often overlooked.
Historical records mostly describe the strategies of war commanders.
In this film, ordinary Dutch civilians recount the scenes of the German invasion.
The fear and helplessness of the people can make people feel the cruelty of war more profoundly than simple war numbers.
This documentary shows all aspects of World War II very comprehensively.
It covers classic battles on the European battlefields.
On the Western Front in Normandy, the battle planned by General Eisenhower, the documentary presents in detail the entire process from preparations to the actual landing.
On the battlefields of Eastern Europe, the conflict between Germany and the Soviet Union, especially the Battle of Stalingrad, and the tragic street battles, made people witness the serious damage caused to the city by the war.
The characters are also well-drawn.
In addition to Hitler being the initiator of the war, his strategies and tactics are shown in the film.
Like Hitler's use of armored forces, he first concentrated on attacking the weak points of the enemy's defense line.
There was also the stubborn resistance of various Allied generals.
Montgomery, a British general, commanded soldiers to confront Rommel's German Afrika Korps on the North African battlefield. His calmness allowed the Allied forces to gradually change the situation of the war.
This documentary is of great significance for understanding the current world situation.
World War II completely changed the world structure.
From the perspective of European international relations, former world powers such as Britain and France suffered severe damage from the war, while the emerging United States and the Soviet Union gradually rose to become superpowers.
Many of the causes of this paradigm shift can be explored from documentaries.
In today's multi-ethnic and multi-cultural world, there are various contradictions in different regions.
From documentaries we can learn how to avoid a recurrence of war.
The damage caused by the war was extremely serious. Take Warsaw, Poland as an example. It was a lively city before the war, but after World War II, the scene was desolate and dilapidated everywhere.
This teaches people to seek peaceful solutions when in dispute.
On the Asian battlefield, people are familiar with the war of resistance between China and Japan, but they know relatively little about the European battlefield.
This film fills this knowledge gap very well.
Not only are ordinary battles shown, but the profound meaning behind the decisions of political leaders in various countries is also explained.
After France was defeated by the German Blitzkrieg, the establishment of the Vichy government concealed the complicated political struggles in France at that time.
The characters on the European battlefield are vividly portrayed.
Some people call generals like Rommel a master of tactics, but unfortunately, he served the Nazis.
The documentary shows Rommel's combat performance and deeds in different periods through comparison, making his image richer. He not only demonstrated his outstanding military talents, but also revealed his contradictions and helplessness in his political stance.
The participants, victims and perpetrators of the war are all reflected in the film.
As participants, soldiers have diverse destinies.
German soldiers initially launched aggression against other countries at Hitler's instigation. From the diary records of many soldiers, we can see that as the war progressed, many of them began to question the rationality of the war. However, they have been unable to extricate themselves and have fallen into trouble.
The victims are particularly distressing.
Jewish residents under Nazi rule, the documentary revealed the tragic conditions of the Jews in the concentration camps, where many innocent people were brutally murdered. From being deported to a concentration camp to being poisoned or overworked to death, the whole process is horrifying.
The ambitions and machinations of the makers, such as Hitler and other military and political figures, are analyzed and presented in detail in the film.
In today's era of collision of diverse cultures and values, this documentary allows us to understand the war more comprehensively and objectively.
The damage caused by the war is all-round, with countless families separated and the economy collapsed.
Germany has been experiencing various social problems due to the impact of the war for many years after the war.
This reminds people to cherish peace.
Every peaceful day is hard-won.
History should not be forgotten, and peaceful times must be safeguarded by everyone.
Let’s think about it, what profound insights does this documentary’s depiction of World War II give us? What is its greatest revelation to modern society?
