I really enjoyed this package of DVDS on the 2nd World War battles . It covers the European and Pacific wars. I found it to be very informative and told stories I was unaware of. I have watched hundreds of hours of World War 2 films and some are better than others. I think this group although some could have transferreed better are an exceptional group of informative and entertaining films. I dont remember the films jumping as one reviewer stated during the Russian sequence. A lot of the pictures ... Read More

This series of programs was shown on the History Channel during the early 1990s titled "The War Years" (as a subset of that series). I had recorded them when they were broadcast, and had been searching for a few years to see if I could find this on DVD as my VHS was becoming a bit dated.
I agree with the reviewer regarding the bad video transfer. Too much pulsating at least during the Battle of Moscow which was better contained on the program on the History Channel. They could have ... Read More

I found the DVD set well restored from the original film. There are some glitches with the audio track and film lines in the display, but one expects that from such a transfer. The archival footage is vintage, with some clips preserved here that would otherwise be lost forever. The interviews provide insights you don't normally see from even the great World at War series.
However, I knock this series for the somewhat dated, and outright slanted storyline and narration. While hearing ... Read More

If you are into World War 2 footage, this is a gold mine. As per the name, the focus is on the battles themselves, rather than politics or "human interest" stories. There is particularly outstanding footage of street fighting, artillery actions, aerial dogfights, ground strafing, city bombing, and tank movements. Sometimes, the coverage is so close that I wonder whether the camera man made it out alive with all his limbs intact!
Coverage of the Eastern Front is excellent, with four ... Read More

I bought it and watched most of it by now. You get many hours of quality B&W Newsreel footage from all sides. I am a serious military history buff and I've never seen 70% of the footage. I can see little scenes that have been used in many movies and other newsreels. This footage seems to be the original from which many copies have come. This package is a British TV series from the early 1960's. Full-on British "stiff upper lip" narrative adds vigor. I suggest it to anyone who craves the real thing.
