  The World at War (30th Anniversary Edition)
  I have purchased many DVDs about WW2 and this one sits near or at the top of the list. The 50 minute episodes make it easy to keep track of the many events during WW2. The episodes are interesting and informative. The series has excellent footage and the narration by Sir Laurence Olivier is top notch. The recent price reduction really makes it an exceptional value. I think it is a "must" purchase for any WW2 or history buff.
  

• The Easiest Way To Give Up REALITY TV
  This should be required viewing for each and every "next" generation. You come away with a very good idea about the human cost of war, the folly of war, the stupidity of war and the horror of war. Very complete in its coverage, not just the holocaust. The actual film footage from the era is absolutely fascinating (alot of it in color). Just a great documentary. Lots of extras over and above the original episodes. And the price is right.

  Just as I expected. I am familiar with this program as it was presented in serial form on TV some years ago, and I always wanted my copy. This compilation may have been edited, updated and expanded from the TV version, but I am very satisified with the final result. Program uses World War II film footage which obviously varies in initial picture quality; this is understandable. Video presentation of the end result is excellent. All DVDs play on my equipment with no problems.

• A Classic Documentary
  This 1970's documentary is a great classic. Great footage and editorial comment by a number of historians as well as the combatants from all sides of the conflict. While this British produced piece shows a lot from the Anglo perspective, it really does have a good balance covering the war in it's entire scope. If you like a flag flying, victory by sheer might type of story, this is probably NOT the documentary for you.
