Sex & Nudity Reason

In episode 3, "France Falls", several naked women are seen with exposed breasts and backsides. In episode 8, "The Desert", a group of naked soldiers run into the ocean and their backsides can be seen. In episode 5, "Barbarossa", we see a group of naked men frolicking in the snow. Their backsides and genitals can be seen.

Violence & Gore

severe

Violence & Gore Reason

Probably one of the most brutal and violent WWII documentaries I have ever seen. Several scenes of men with their entrails hanging out, torsos missing, heads disfigured and much more. This should be TV-MA. That said, one of the best documentaries I have ever seen covering WWII.
