Movie Reviews of The World at War (30th Anniversary Edition)
Movie Review: Excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a very well made documentary and everyone who is interested in history shouldn't pass this one up.Movie Review: The Truth and False about this Documentary set
Summary: 3 Stars
I watched this set over and over.
Honestly it is the best in the market and I encourage any one who didn't know about WWII is to start with this.
It collects many newsreels from German Allied sources and builds the entire documentary narration on it! And some times vice versa!
The viewer must note that it doesn't tell the truth all the time; some times they hide important facts; ignore the achievement and greatness of certain people, events and some time it focus on certain unnecessary issues.
Something valuable in it as it shows interview with Nazi leader - generals and high ranking officers whom all died by now. And you feel that their statement is censored to save the purpose of the film and the allied point of view, some of the interviews with normal citizens from Germany are not fair as they are biased and non accountable.
The Sequence of even are nit the great even it is very good and very good quality.
If you wondering what happen in WWII with comprehensive good quality while you drink cup of tea I advice you to watch this set.
Movie Review: THE WORLD AT WAR
Summary: 5 Stars
The film is very good, as real as it gets. A complete history of WWII.Movie Review: Great documentary, not always accurate.
Summary: 4 Stars
As many other reviewers already stated this is a very good summary of WWII, looked at from a British perspective.
Keep in mind that the war is over after volume 7. The remaining volumes are reruns of interviews with some more details.
It was mentioned that at the start of the war The Netherlands capitulated after Rotterdam was bombed.
As far as I know from Dutch historical documents, The Netherlands capitulated before Rotterdam was bombarded, but the bombers were already on their way and the Nazis did not bother to call them back, thus adding another atrosity to their long list of crimes to humanity.
Later there is an interview with historian Stephen Ambrose, who feels that the US profited from the war, since the US lost relative few people and now had Western Europe and Japan under its influence. This justified the occupation of eastern Europe by the Soviet Union, not more then fair. Never mind that there was an agreement with Stalin that all occupied countries should have free elections after the war. This (PBS?)'expert' does not seem to understand that the Eastern European countries were brutally oppressed by Russia, while the western European nations were free democracies.
There are other more interesting interviews with e.g. Hitler's secretary and German and allied commanders. Also with regular soldiers and civilians from Germany, Russia and the occupied countries.
Also footage about live in the occupied countries (Holland, Poland) and Germany during the war.
Overall well worth buying, a good historical overview of the rise and fall of Hitler. Of great historical value for present and future generations.
Movie Review: Just the best documentary on WW2
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps the best documentary ever put together on WW2. It combines background information with in depth analysis of just about every major action complete with eyewitness testimony and accounts.
Highly recommended.
