This one isn’t WW2, but by the same game designer, but I real enjoy it, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0B37S8NQ7/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_taft_p1_i9

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/40209/raf-battle-britain-1940 – you can lose days playing this one!
Most games have a video section, often with unboxings of play throughs; and a Forum section, in which you will find a subsection called Reviews.
