Encyclopaedia Of World War 2 - Vol. 3 - Battle Of Cassino To Jean Francois Darlan DVD

Advantages: dramatic recount of dog fights
Disadvantages: none for me

...AIR BATTLES OF WORLD WAR TWO This DVD is another great documentation from battles fought in world war 2. This DVD features some dramatic dog fights over Britain, fought between British and German pilots during the Battle of Britain. And the Japanese Zeros versus the American Hellcats and corsairs over the pacific. And the USAAF raid on the ploesti oilfields in Romania. The DVD contains an Interactive menu, scene selection, previews on other war files titles. Having had family who fought in WWII it fascinates me to see the kinds of things that they had to go through. It is great being able to learn more about our history, as during my whole time in school all of our history studies revolved around Russia and Germany.

Advantages: Sucks you into a fantastical world
Disadvantages: this film tires you out just watching it because its sooooo adventurous

Advantages: Interesting to see colour footage
Disadvantages: None, really

...This DVD is part of the History Channel World War II in Colour. It is the story (shown in colour) of how the people of the USA and Britain coped on the homefront, whilst the service personnel of both countries were away fighting against the Axis countries in what must have seemed like the four corners of the globe. The Atlantic, the Pacific, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the far East, Australasia, and so forth. The first chapter of the DVD is entitled "making do." Because the programme was created for the American audience, it begins not at the start of the homefront in Britain, but with the homefront in America, which was basically created only when Pearl Harbour was attacked by the Japanese. Suddenly, America new what it was like to face a relentless enemy who seemed implacable and incapable... Read review
