So I watched 2. Monte Cassino and Malta. Both contain about 15 minutes of content, stretched over an hour and constantly repeated. Lots of stock footage of planes flying and bombs being dropped. A few surprisingly explicit death images - they usually leave those out of this level of documentary. I learned a few details I didn't already know, but none of them had anything to do with new information gleaned from the new perspective. No depth at all to the analysis, and essentially nothing contributed by the 3D drone reconstructions. There are some shows that use 3D CGI reconstructions to show things normally invisible, and do a good job of orienting the viewer and letting them get inside the location. This isn't one of them.
If you're completely unfamiliar with these topics it passes as a brief introduction. If you're already at all familiar with the subject matter, it's thin gruel indeed.
