3.0 out of 5 stars For the price, worth it, November 16, 2006

This review is from: Tiger: Heavy Tank Panzer VI (DVD)

As many have commented before on other movies in this series, the information and footage isn't new. I have almost the entire series of tank movies. These DVD's are mostly (I stress mostly!) accurate. The footage isn't the greatest and the narrator might put you to sleep - sometimes he sounds like he is falling asleep himself, and often they reuse the same footage more than once in the movie.
But, if you love WW2 German tanks and planes, it's worth checking out the whole series. If you're a hardcore tank fan like I am, you might be a little disappointed.
But, the price is reasonable, and you might still learn something new.

3.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is the previously released Chronos Videotape, June 27, 2006

This review is from: Tiger: Heavy Tank Panzer VI (DVD)

Chronos of the UK released this documentary on Videotape a number of years ago. This DVD is that same documentary. Because this documentary consists of old Black & White German and newsreel footage the quality is not the best. Therefore you may ask yourself if having a DVD is necessary. Since the footage is of old scratchy film, having a VHS tape is just as good as the DVD. It has not been remastered. The documentary itself is good considering the source material. The British Voiceover is pretty dry but informative. This is one of the best documetaries available with Tiger footage, it is just deceiving to market this as a fresh product. - KH in Southington, CT

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent video in an excellent series., November 10, 2008

This review is from: Tiger: Heavy Tank Panzer VI (DVD)

I own this video that was originally marketed under another title but the content is the same. I consider it an excellent documentary of the Tiger I and II. Yes, some of the archival footage is a little scratchy, but it is real combat footage and includes rare scenes of Tigers in combat showing their employment in battle. It contains little-covered topics such as recovery of damaged Tigers. I feel it is far preferable to the History Channel stuff with the terrible reenactments using fake Tigers (In one instance, they have a Tiger turret mounted on a T-34 hull!). The amount of authentic archival footage alone is worth the price.
