the word at war also includes interviews with journalists, housewifes, soldiers and historians, polish, dutch, italien, and hungarian jewish camp survivors, survivors of pearl harbor, hiroshima, and the fire-bombing of dresden; as well as uniquely devastating descriptions by participant as far-reaching as:

- karl wolff: ss general and hitler's adjutant
- marquis kido: the emperor hirohito's chief advisor
- heinz linge: hitlers valet
- mitsuo fuchida: leader of the pear harbor attack

- james steward: film actor and u.s. fighter pilot
- alger hiss: us state departement advisor to president roosevelt
- paul tibbets: a pilot on the hiroshima-targeted enola gay
voices like these, and the extraordinary range of footage that accompanies them, make the worl at war a truly definitive and unique eyewitness documentary series on all fronts of the second world war.
Constituée d`images d`archives du Musée Impérial de la Guerre et de collections personnelles, de témoignages de survivants et personnages clés de cette guerre, cette série, unique en son genre, est considérée comme la série la plus aboutie sur la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.
