I think Koopa has it. Or maybe Bookerman.


And hey, where did you get that avatar? Is that whatshisname's intro from Spider-Man2? If so, you know where I can find the one that shows Peter walking away from MJ?

 

[Tabris]

Actually I would like to know that answer too.

Does it show maps of what's going on, what units are moving where and such as it continues the documentary? Cause I like that visual when understanding what's going on.

I have it but I havnt watched it yet. Even still, it looks impressive among my DVD collection. Sooner or later im going to have to set aside a day to watch a bunch of it and really get absorbed into it.

We used to watch these in history lessons -- really, REALLY good, but really old. You have maps and stuff but it's basic 1960s/70s graphics. Great footage and narration though.

I have it. It's great. Buy it.

It was made in the early seventies, I believe, and does have a bit of a dated feel to it. But its strength is that there are in-depth interviews with soldiers, survivors, Nazis, hell, they even interview Hitler's secretary. Of course, there is a wealth of wartime footage (including a surprising amount in color) and the narration is by Sir Laurence Olivier, who lends appropriate gravity to the proceedings.

I don't remember it as being particularly strong in the battlefield map department, but if you are looking for a definitive, comprehensive, and moving history of World War II, this is the set to get.
