9 Great World War II Shows You Can Stream Right Now
High-budget spectacles, supernatural horror, and … slapstick comedy?
Later episodes, like “King Nine Will Not Return,” “Judgment Night,” and “The Encounter” have similar themes, exploring the lasting psychological effects of the war on those who fought it — and “Death’s Head Revisited” addresses the same issue from the other side when a former Nazi S.S. captain, who was part of the Holocaust, finally gets the inescapable punishment he deserves. It goes without saying that the humor is pretty dated and leans toward the slapstick — at one point, a soldier dresses up like Hitler to distract the obsequious Colonel Klink (played by Jewish actor Werner Klemperer, whose family fled Germany in 1933) — but it’s a fun watch even if simply as a cultural relic of the halcyon days when Nazis were such an accepted evil that we made jokes about them on prime-time network television. However, while the earlier HBO show focuses on one company of paratroopers in the Western Front, this series takes a wider view of the Pacific theater, following men serving in three different marine regiments as they battle both Imperial Japan and the challenges of surviving with limited resources on remote islands with unforgiving tropical climates.
