Rating:  -
The documentary is, as expected, informative. However, it is overshadowed by the totally unfit and very intrusive Sound score, consisting entirely of fast-paced action-scene, militaristic music, mixed in way too loudly. Think of the music during an action scene from an Indiana Jones movie, and stick this score on a calmly narrated documentary - it does not work at ALL. Even after watching all DVD's, this was quite annoying still.

These four TV series are valuable in treating interesting phenomena of World War II that are less frequently covered on video. Each episode is in stereo, 4:3 format, and vintage B&W (mostly) and vintage color, with modern embellishments (maps, background info, etc.) in color. The quality of the archival footage is variable of course, but all is watchable. The quality of the modern color supplements is very good to excellent (e.g., Bletchley Park). Narration is by actor Robert Powell (born 1944).
