Customer Reviews of WWII - The Ultimate Collection (30 Movie Pack)

The camera as the ultimate historian
In WWII - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, the camera tells the story of the most momentous event of the 20th century far better than any historian or scholar could. Besides the many highly-regarded vintage documentaries, this set also includes a captured Nazi film on the war in Poland, Soviet coverage of the Nuremburg Trials and a U.S. Army Air Force training film that features a future U.S. president (no, not Eisenhower!).<

>Several of these titles may also be found on the [[ASIN:B0001HAGWO WAR CLASSICS 50 MOVIE COLLECTION]]. This excellent DVD box set covers WWII in greater detail, again by using 1940's documentaries.<
