Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This is the definitive film about World War II, made using the most dramatic documentary footage ever seen. In addition to action at the fronts and in the war rooms around the world, there are penetrating interviews with statesmen and military leaders of the time. Further, The World at War chronicles events through the experiences of ordinary men and women--American, British, German, Japanese, and Russian, in uniform and out--who lived and fought through the most momentous conflict in world history.

Stalingrad The encirclement and defeat of the German army at Stalingrad holds more importance than the numbers of men lost--large though they were. For the first time, the Germans are beaten in the field. The legend of German mastery on land is dispelled as the people Hitler once called sub-human prove themselves more clever than he is. Written by Jerome Kuehl.
