4.0 out of 5 stars Nice History Lesson, February 9, 2001

This review is from: Sunken Secrets of World War II - The Legacy of Truk Lagoon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was fortunate enough to take a dive trip to Truk Lagoon. Upon my return, I wanted to learn a little more about the events that led to the magnificent wrecks I had just been on. This video provided me with that. It gave a narrative of the attack and events leading to it, and included some archival footage of the attack. The more recent footage of dives on the wrecks brought back some great memories. It was also interesting to hear the Chuukese people describe their perspecitve of that place in history. My only complaint would be that it wasn't long enough, but I assume that is due to television limitations. If you want a good overview on a critical turning point of World War II, plus some beautiful underwater footage, watch this video.

This review is from: Sunken Secrets of World War II - The Legacy of Truk Lagoon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

On February 17,1944, American forces in the Pacific launched a two-day bombing mission against the Japanese, resulting in the destruction of over 40 ships, 200 planes and thousands of soldiers - now entombed under 300 feet of water. This is the story of the invasion and the days, months and years that followed; featuring dramatic WWII footage.superiorvideo.com

3.0 out of 5 stars Little Underwater, October 13, 2000

This review is from: Sunken Secrets of World War II - The Legacy of Truk Lagoon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My biggest problem was the insufficent ammount of actual underwater footage. I expected some actual dive film on several of the key ships but got none. I didn't buy this to listen to fat natives talk about the attack.
