4.0 out of 5 stars North American buyers beware - this is a PAL formatted DVD, December 23, 2010

Pretty decent docu with both color(ized) and B/W photos/video. Comes with German and English narration, English subtitles for German film clips are quite nice, slightly raised orange color font. The English narration is done by a Brit with a good tenor and pace. The only complaint is that the company producing the DVD (History Films) has their logo embedded on the movie in the upper left hand corner the WHOLE time. Very annoying.

Buyers in the US/North America should beware that this DVD is in PAL format and will NOT play on Region 1 players. It plays fine on my Mac though, so a decent computer or region-free DVD player and you're good. A little pricey if you don't have a way to watch it though!
