An honest, reasonably accurate account of the titanic battle that turned the tide of WW2. Produced by German television it had the usual mix of archival footage, talking heads and voiceover.
For me this was hurt by the use of extreme close-ups in the interview scenes. The people being interviewed were all elderly so the technique gave us a screen-filling view of any facial moles, wrinkles or other defects. What is the point of this? Do the filmmakers think this contributes to verisimilitude? I find it distracting, intrusive and annoying but it seems to be universal now.
Other than that this was a solid effort.
