The series has 26 episodes. Producer Jeremy Isaacs asked Noble Frankland, 
then director of the Imperial War Museum, to list fifteen main campaigns of the 
war and devoted one episode to each.
 
The remaining eleven episodes are devoted to other matters, such as the rise of 
the Third Reich, home life in Britain and Germany, the experience of occupation 
in the Netherlands, and the Nazis' use of genocide.
 
Episode 1 begins with a cold open describing the massacre at the French village 
of Oradour-sur-Glane by the Waffen SS.
 
The same event is referenced again at the end of Episode 26 and the series 
ends with Laurence Olivier uttering the poignant word, "Remember".
