i know strictly speaking this review is only for volume 2 but as i did not buy the box set and got the world at war in 5 seperate parts. I have combined my review.

THE WORLD AT WAR DVD COLLECTION

This is the definitive collection of documentaries from WWII. Coming to us more than 30 years after it was initially broadcast. It is narrated by academy award winner, Sir Lawrence Olivier.

I bought all 5 volumes from retrowarez-promotions on ebay. Priced at £6.79 each with £2 postage.

Volume 1 runs for 417 minutes, and features archival footage from 1933-1942 doocumenting the rise of the Nazis in Germany. And the start of the war. It also includes the making of. And more.

Volume 2 features archival footage fro 1939 –1944 and documents the Russian victories and the bombing raids in England. It runs for 432 minutes. And more.

Volume 3 runs for 416 minutes and documents the Third Reich, Japan, D-day with archival footage from 1933 –1945 and more.

Volume 4 has a run time of 260 minutes. Part 4 is narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier and Eric Potter. It has archival footage from 1941 –1945 it includes segments on the atomic bomb and Hitler. And much more.

Volume 5 has a run time of 416 minutes and is the final segment of this story of World War 2. this part is narrated by Eric Potter, it features footage from 1933 –1945 including Hitler’s Germany.

This collection is superb, I really wish I had known about it back when I was at school studying history. I am a bag fan of documentaries and as far as a detailed account on WWII this is just about the best that I have seen. It is such a definitive collection of archival footage, all compiled together into 5 documentaries. Great how they are compiled into separate sections. So for anyone only interested in specific parts can just have the parts they want.

I remember watching this series when it was first broadcast in the early seventies, and it made an impression on me then. A brilliant historical work that sijmply tells of the facts and horror without glamourising war
