Synopsis

*WWII from Space* presents World War II through a unique satellite perspective, using CGI to offer a global view of the conflict. The HISTORY special highlights key events and turning points, placing them in a broader context by re-creating moments that could not have been captured on film. It emphasizes the simultaneous nature of the war and the underlying effects of pivotal incidents. The documentary also brings new information to light, illustrating how a country ranked 19th in military strength in 1939 became the world's only atomic superpower by 1945.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
