Product Description
For the first time, you will see dramatic moments of WWII that were captured in 3D with stereographs and then shuttered away in secret archives and attics, until now. This stunning collection of color 3D photos includes Allied reconnaissance photos, a trove of images that documents the rise and fall of the Third Reich, and photos secretly taken by a civilian in occupied France. WWII IN 3D also features an actual 3D motion picture film shot by the Nazis in 1943 and creates a fully immersive, three dimensional portrait of history's largest and bloodiest conflict.
BONUS FEATURES:English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Polish and Mandarin subtitles

I recently bought a 3D rig and have been buying Blu-Ray discs to showcase the technology. I'm also the son of a WWII veteran of the 101st Airborne, 506th Parachute Infantry Division. Growing up with a true GI hero, I have a built-in interest in the history of the era. I pre-ordered "WWII in 3D" for its curiosity value not really knowing what to expect. The description was rather incomplete at the time but it was under $20 so there were no high expectations. When the show started, I was totally surprised that Nazi Germany was again at the forefront of technology and it even extended to photography and motion pictures. At the end of the show, I felt that the producers included only a subset of what they may have had access to which is only conjecture on my part. Some of the 3D images are reused during the storytelling. There is only a short clip of full motion 3D film but it shows the advanced capabilities were used to influence their intended audience in 1939. The still shots are truly historic. We've all seen the images of the Nuremberg Parade Grounds with over a hundred thousand uniformed soldiers but never before have they been shown in 3D. There are several excellent before-and-after fades combining current day with the wartime images. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in WWII history or 3D photography.

This documentary focuses on Hitler's use of 3D during WWII. He began using 3D photos for propaganda purposes. After all, 3D is impressive...well, I think it is. There is also a 3D movie clip which might have been used to train soldiers in the proper use of certain weapons. Later, the Allies began using 3D imagery for aerial reconnaissance. One of the historians in this documentary is impressed with these WWII, 3D photos & the 3D movie stating that the 3D images help him pick out details that he normally would overlook. 3D wasn't entirely new at that time. Stereoscopic technology has been around since 1838. I was impressed with the 97 year old Frenchman who has been taking 3D photos for 80 years. Although, Hitler decreed that photography was unlawful, this Frenchman would take photos whenever he was able. (There is an interesting color photo he took of a US soldier).
The majority of the photos are black and white. For the most part, the 3D quality of the movie is fine. I saw some crosstalk/ghosting in a few of the old photos.
My husband & I found this documentary to be interesting, but not worth $20. It focuses on 3D and how it was used by Hitler & later, the Allied forces, during WWII. As far as WWII history is concerned, I don't think anything new will be learned from this documentary.

I bought this video and I am very unhappy with the content of it.
This is definitely not a film about WWII but only a simple documentary about the usage of photography and video in 3D during the war.
While it has good pictures, the historical content is poor and has just repetitive information seen in many other documentaries.
I seriously do not recommend this to people interested in historical facts.

Not blue-red 3-D
It's an interesting film, but you have to have active-shutter glasses. The 3D doesn't work with the red/blue glasses. This is frustrating. Read more

3D was interesting.
The pictures were pretty standard, but more enhanced and interesting in 3D. It was worth the price, so I would recommend it for the 3D perspective.
