1.0 out of 5 stars Great History, BAD BAD BAD DVD, August 20, 1999

This review is from: World War II - Vol. 1: Prelude to War/The Nazi Strike (DVD)

This is the worst DVD transfer I have ever seen. You may have to fiddle with the settings on your DVD player or you'll be cursed with a major amount of buzzing and crackling no matter what the volume on your TV or sound system.

Mine was also defective, showing about three minutes of Triumph of the Will before returning to the main menu. I tried it both on my home theater DVD player and my DVD ROM (just in case one might have been having problems like the sound issue). It failed to play in both.

No wonder these DVD's are so cheap. They're cheaply made. Quality is an afterthought. I can't even believe that anyone at the company that made them watched them because anyone with a shred of integrity wouldn't have let them out the door.

I am SORELY disappointed. Sadly I opened the volumes I bought, so I'm stuck with them. I'll probably get rid of them in a garage sale someday.

Do yourself a favor, buy one of the more recommended VHS versions, or wait until a company that actually cares about quality puts out a new edition. These are AMAZINGLY bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why We Fight DVD Program, December 18, 2010

This review is from: Why We Fight: The Nazi Strike (1943) [Enhanced] (DVD)

This program is very good at zeroing in on the Nazis to show how ordinary people did terrible things within the framework of the larger state. It also does an excellent job of explaining the Nazi world view. I have always been a history person and have started to watch more Nazi programs. Part of Frank Capra's ""Why We Fight"" series.

This review is from: Why We Fight: The Nazi Strike (1943) [Enhanced] (DVD)

Really nice footage, and explanations for the quick, fast paced actions of the Nazi's. This film shows the speed and fury of the Nazi Blitzkreig War Machine. The Picture in this footage has been upgraded, but still not up to HD standards.

Great film, very educational. My Class loved it.
