World War II Collector's Set: 6 Films

An excellent anthology at a bargain price
This "World War II Collector's Set" is an excellent documentary-film collection at a bargain price. If you care to check, you will find that some of the films collected here (Hitler's Britain, Desert Victory, The Nazis Strike, Here Is Germany, The Spreading Holocaust, and How Hitler Lost the War) are sold separately on Amazon for about the same price (individually) as this set. Desert Victory is an Oscar-winning documentary. The Nazis Strike was compiled by master director Frank Capra. Hitler's Britain, while a documentary, asks the "what-if" question: "What course would the Nazis have pursued had they actually overrun England?" The six films are on two disks, and all told they run over six hours.

Great collection at usually a bargain price
I bought this set for the movie other than "Hitlers' Britain", and "How Hitler Lost the War", at walmart for $5, cause I don't believe I had seen the others, though I had bought the two latter separately on two dvds in better resolution, and they were well worth having on individual discs. This set has alot of overcompression of the videos causing pixelation, but hey, for the price, I paid five bucks, who cares, I could always go for a better copy individually if really appeal to me more, later.
Of course, I always find our western education that relates everything to war against Nazi germany in WW2 as a war against Hitler himself, a truly ignorant premise. Too many documentaries use the same catchy phrase, like "Hitlers flying machines", or "hitlers uboats", or "Hitlers secret weapons", etc, you get the idea, its getting old so fast its too old, its almost like they are afraid of the "nazi" word, like maybe calling it "Nazi Britain", or "How the Nazis lost the war". I mean,...

A Great Compilation of World War II Documentaries!
This DVD comes with only one disc and six full-sized documentaries. If you have to realize that the quality is not guaranteed because the films have suffered over time. Please understand how time has harmed the documentaries but they are restored as much as possible. Anyway with a few scratches and signs of imperfection of the early film documentaries, the six documentaries included Academy Award winner, "Desert Victory," which is really just World War II film footage and a narrator talking about the war in Northern Africa.

Everybody knows Frank Capra as the father of "It's A Wonderful Life!," but he was also Colonel Frank Capra for the United States Army. He directed "The Nazis Strike" which features the propaganda messages and Nazi newsreel to brainwash a nation. He also directed "Here is Germany," which shows the country as a hard-working nation of good people. It's another propaganda technique.

"The Spreading Holocaust" displays the horrors of World War II...
