I was watching the episode about the Nazi trains when it came to the section about the German invasion of Belgium. When the voice over said that Belgium was invaded in 1939, I realized how shoddy the documentary was. I have no time for inaccuracy in documentaries. This may seem petty but anybody with more than a passing knowledge of the war should know better than to say Belgium was invaded in 1939.
