Big B on the devastating effects of war

Amitabh Bachchan noted that the narrative highlighted not only political and military decisions but also the difficulties faced by civilians and soldiers. He reflected on the scale of violence and destruction that occurred in various countries during the war years.Commenting on the wider themes of the documentary, he writes: “Armaments, war machines, brutal killings and faith have no place in a peaceful world… And AI puts it all into an all-encompassing perspective: … the conflict from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the end of the war and the dawn of the atomic age, emphasizing not only strategy and leaders but also the suffering of ordinary soldiers and civilians.“
