5 out of 5 stars Gift    January 6, 2009
N. Stipp
Gave these dvd's to a friend for Christmas. He loved them. He's a bit of a history buff...all eras, and said that some of the footage in these, blew him away:)


5 out of 5 stars Complete History of World War II    January 6, 2009
D. Stone (Michigan)
This set is a complete history of World War II from Europe to the Pacific. The video and commentary are spectacular! Time Life's t.v. advertisement offers 4 discs for nearly the same price as this complete set of 11 discs! TvBoxset provides a great buy.


5 out of 5 stars perfect gift!    January 6, 2009
F. Storm
I bought this as a Xmas present for my fiance & he LOVES it. He raves about it every time he watches one of the segments. With 11 DVD's it's going to take him a while to get through it & he seems to be enjoying every moment.


5 out of 5 stars What else can be said. Its the best WWII doc made.    January 6, 2009
Mr. MDM (Alpharetta, GA)
As my title states, there not much more that can be posted about this documentary series. Its wonderfully made...loaded with footage and first hand accounts from all major war participants. I really enjoyed this set, particularly the interviews with Stephen Ambrose, Traudl Junge, etc. Highly recommended, of course, if you have even a lukewarm interest in history or, more specifically, the history of WWII. I would have liked to have seen a little more coverage on the workings and makeup of the SS in particular...though the set does examine Hitler's Germany in fairly good detail and what conditions allowed for such a regime to be created and ultimately take hold of the country.


4 out of 5 stars very well made..    January 6, 2009
J. Mckenzie (Northern Ma.)
video is very high quality, DVD appears to be mastered from the original BBC series footage, unlike lots of other WWII DVD (television) offers that look like they were copied from a VCR playing back in EP mode (complete with head switching noise, flagging, tape wrinkle noise). My only minor complaint is that they should've made it so you could play through all 4 episodes (i.e. "Play all") on the disks.
