Colourize
editHow did they colourize the video? It was black white as origincal source? 188.22.176.225 (talk) 12:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. I added that a citation is needed. At the beginning of the series they state that they collected color footage, it does not say it's colorized. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 04:01, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- If someone would like to add the citation, the UK production company - WMR Productions - confirms the original B&W footage was 'enhanced and restored, and then colourised', at this page, http://worldmediarights.com/production/world-war-two-in-hd-colour/ (also archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20160304044138/http://worldmediarights.com/production/world-war-two-in-hd-colour/).FelisTeeCee (talk) 19:47, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Critic
editIn the part about invasion of Poland they used wrong map. Slovakia was not part of German Empire (only used their territory), and Transcarpatia with east and south parts of Slovakia belonged to Hungary, so some polish soldiers and refugees could escape to Hungarian Kingdom. 78.98.10.222 (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
Totally agree. Kelenbp (talk) 00:23, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
"The narration includes some inaccuracies and facts open to dispute." This is not the place to dispute them. Most of this article is one person's editorial critique of the series; all the sections about 'criticism' are actually original criticism, and need to be deleted. That is the case regardless of the merits of the criticism; but for what it's worth, the fact-checking in this article is dubious and unconvincing. 203.7.120.229 (talk) 10:58, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Spelling?
editIf it only aired in the United States? Why is this written in British English? If it aired in the UK, then it needs to be added to the article. MagnoliaSouth (talk) 03:59, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- For info, it has aired in the UK on Channel 5 (a repeat showing of the series on the same channel has also just ended); it was made by a UK production company. FelisTeeCee (talk) 19:56, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Country, original channel and spelling in the title.
edit- World Media Rights are a British production company. As they are the ones who made the series, why is this listed as a United States production? Following on from that, shouldn't the spelling be changed in the title to "colour"? And what channel did it originally air on in the UK?--Trans-Neptunian object (talk) 19:33, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Never mind, the IP who made the edit is notorious for unsolicited changes like this and edit warring.--Trans-Neptunian object (talk) 19:45, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

World War II in HD Colour → World War II in Colour – This seems to be the standard title. It is the main title used on IMDB and the original title, and also the one used on Netflix. St.nerol (talk) 12:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

US Flag?
editGood series but why can't they even use a 48 state flag instead of a 50 star flag?? 2605:59C8:2598:8310:DCAA:F88A:992B:500E (talk) 03:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
