“We saw things that people would not believe… and it changed our lives forever.” Netflix revealed the full trailer for one of their next historical doc series called World War II: Behind Enemy Lines, arriving to watch starting in December this winter. From the makers of Emmy winning WWII: From The Frontlines, this series, narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Josh Brolin, tells the story of the 101st Airborne’s daring missions inside Nazi occupied Europe, from D-Day (1944) to VE-Day (1945) using colorized and previously unseen archival footage. It’s a continuation of Netflix’s previous series World War II: From The Frontlines from 2023. Featuring tons of authentic footage filmed during the war, most of it colorized & cleaned up & sometimes enhanced, continuing the trend that Peter Jackson first started with his WWI doc. Witness one US Army unit’s battles, bravery and covert missions from D-Day to V-E Day in never-before-seen restored footage and rare firsthand accounts. The doc is about the “real band of brothers” that fought during the war.
