I watched and loved this show when I was a kid (I know I am old!), and loved it when it came out on video tape back in the 80's. When I saw it had been released on DVD I was elated because my video tapes had worn out. I was also happy to see how cheap it was compared to buying the old VHS tapes. I would highly recommend this series to both the serious WWII nut like me, or to someone who wants an easy to understand narrative of the war. It is unique in that it gives the human perspective to events, and is not just a video with impersonal facts and film clippings. It is a great companion piece to The World at War (which is also available on DVD). I would highly recommend buying this DVD set.

As a WWII buff, this is a wonderful recording of history. Many scenes I have never seen before. A must if you are a WWII history fan.

Excellent seller. Resolved problem with speed and courtesy. Product was packaged well and reasonably priced. Would buy from this seller again.

I don't know what is worse. The death and chaos caused by this conflict or the boring, dull voice of Walter Cronkite. If you are looking for actual historical accuracy, you won't get it here. Cronkite instead voices his opinion based on his eye witness account of these events.
Half way through, I found myself rooting for the enemy to kill Cronkite
just to shut him up!!! Terrible collection. Don't waste your money.
