5.0 out of 5 stars Great WWII Videos, January 18, 2008

This is another good set from Timeless Video. This set is from the group of U.S. videos taken in Europe and Pacific which were classified and released recently with the Freedom of Information Act. They are complete with maps and commentary, and will be video not seen before. They will show some U.S. defeats the military didn't want the public to see. The time period is from roughly the last half of 44 and the 1st of 45. Confidential, the companion set from Timeless Video, is late 43 through the 1st half of 44. The video is mostly crystal clear. Some of it is a little dark.

This is strictly real footage. There is continual commentary, but the interesting part is watching events occur in actual video shot at the time events occurred. It can get a little long, but well worth watching for those history buffs ... like me. I was fascinated by it. Black Triangle

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, May 15, 2009

This review is from: Restricted Films of World War II (DVD)

The DVD sleeve is very nice, so I had hopes that the visual qualtiy of the two DVD's would be very good, which is not the case. The poor quality is no doubt the result of these being produced directly from the free, dark and fuzzy reference room VHS or 1" tape copies at the National Archives. These low visual quality shelf copies are intended for content review and the idea then, is to have masters made from their film intermediates that would be ordered and processed by a NA approved lab. This does not appear to be the case.

When DVD's such as these are made from the 35mm film intermediates, the result is a crisp, sharp, gorgeous black and white result. If I could return these DVD's I would do so. After watching a few minutes of the DVD's I set them aside, and will give them to someone else.
