    Interesting history, but poor sound quality

    An interesting and thorough (32 hrs, including all the extras) history of WW II, but somewhat dated (1974) and the sound quality is not great (mono, not stereo, according to the box).

    Disappointed

    The first DVD of the five in the set was defective. It "froze" while watching and lost audio as well as having a scrambled picture. I was very disappointed and have not even tried to view any of the other DVD's in the set.

  • In my opinion this is the best World War II documentary.

    This World War II series was filmed in 1973-1974 when direct witnesses were still alive. It isn't just a dry overview of some far away history. The series makes the war personal through the emotive interviews of people that lived through it. Common folk like you and I tell their tales among rare film footage and excellent narration. All of it combines to bear witness to the suffering, the strength, and the fortitude of men and women in a world at war.

    A very detailed history of WW2. Interesting and heavy on England's involvement in the war effort.
