Advantages: Many Key Witnesses Available for commentary Disadvantages: Very few stock images in colour.
The World at War Series is refreshingly unique, with the strong powerful voice of Laurence Olivier as Narrator, it offers an insight into both sides of the war, and best of all, alot of the key witnesses or participants of major events were still alive at the time of this documentary so a phenominal amount of commentary was available making this one of the most coverted History sets ever.
It even goes onto describe the end of the War in Germany, known as Nemesis in the series, it shows not only the human suffering that allied nations faced, but also the civilian and military suffering on the side of the axis.
It covers everything, such as the Holocaust, the Blitz, The U boats, the Burma Campaign, the American Advance in the Pacific, and so forth. ...
Advantages: Excellent series that you watch and watch again. Disadvantages: Can be very upsetting and at times graphical suffering is shown.

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

The DVD contains an Interactive menu, scene selection, previews on other war files titles.

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. Which even then just did not seem to make sense to me. And so I embarked on my journey of learning about it ...
