AT LAST... We Finally Get "Decoding Nazi Secrets" On DVD!

"Includes five NOVA programs from PBS...
The best of which is the absolutely superb "Decoding Nazi Secrets" (1999) which clocks in at a bit less than 120 minutes. This marks the very first time that "Decoding Nazi Secrets" has been struck to DVD by WGBH, the producer of these PBS-Nova shows and the distributor of their home video products. Previously, it was only marketed by WGBH on VHS tape. I cannot remember the last time I purchased a VHS... of anything.
Yet, just seven months ago, when I asked WGBH via email why this fine program was not being produced on DVD, they replied that "Only the programs having good VHS sales are considered for DVD by their marketing managers." ...Now there is one smart merchandising plan!
Well, small wonder... that's just one of the many reasons why PBS finds it hard to make ends meet."
