DESERT VICTORY — A gritty and tense Academy Award® winner, Desert Victory documents the clash of Germany's General Rommel and Britain's General Montgomery as their militaries collide in battle under harsh desert condit... more »ions. Britain's defeat at El Alemein is only a stumbling block on the road to victory as they ultimately conquer the Germans at Tripoli. Notably, Desert Victory utilizes actual German footage of Rommel and Hitler that was confiscated during the skirmish by the British. During the making of this documentary, four British Army cameramen were killed, seven were wounded, and six were taken prisoner by the enemy - as these brave men captured history-in-the-making on film, they became part of history themselves...

THE NAZIS STRIKE

Masterfully compiled by Col. Frank Capra, The Nazis Strike features actual German archival footage - Nazi newsreel propaganda - as a forceful and revealing tool to expose the Third Reich's underhanded acts of political and military injustice.

HERE IS GERMANY

An unprecedented WWII documentary, Here Is Germany takes its focus off Allied forces and turns its attention to Germany - a beautiful country populated by a hard-working and prosperous people. From Friedrich the Great to Adolph Hitler, Germany's political figures, government, military, and war history are thoughtfully examined.

THE SPREADING HOLOCAUST

The Holocaust spreads across Europe as the Third Reich overwhelms France, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, and Norway. As invasion of the United States becomes reality, the American Army is motivated into action. There is no other option: Germany must be stopped. Utilizing rare wartime footage, The Spreading Holocaust traces the beginnings of WWII and the U.S.'s involvement from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the invasion of Italy.

HOW HITLER LOST THE WAR

An eye-opening documentary, How Hitler Lost the War examines the theory that Germany essentially won and then lost World War II before 1942. This is a riveting and revealing alternative look at the theories behind and the flaws within Hitler's strategy, which ultimately resulted in Germany's defeat and the downfall of his regime.

HITLER'S BRITAIN

London, Spring 1941. Columns of Wehrmacht soldiers make their way along the Mall, swatikas hang from Buckingham Palace and Junkers scream low overhead - a potent symbol of Nazi victory. The Germans have conquered the capital. Churchill and his government have gone into hiding. It's a chilling picture: What would the Nazis have done if they had conquered Britain? Filmed in England and using Allied and German documents, blueprints, and archive film, this two-part documentary answers one of the most intriguing questions in history.

This collection of old mostly black and white films is a true historical treasure. It gives a (sometimes painfully) accurate picture of the American outlook on World War II, complete with its triumphant tone and cultural biases.

Do NOT expect the pictures or audio to be of a current technological quality.

DO be prepared for some pretty horrific scenes.

An excellent anthology at a bargain price

Macs Perkins | outside Houston, Texas | 04/23/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This "World War II Collector's Set" is an excellent documentary-film collection at a bargain price. If you care to check, you will find that some of the films collected here (Hitler's Britain, Desert Victory, The Nazis Strike, Here Is Germany, The Spreading Holocaust, and How Hitler Lost the War) are sold separately on Amazon for about the same price (individually) as this set. Desert Victory is an Oscar-winning documentary. The Nazis Strike was compiled by master director Frank Capra. Hitler's Britain, while a documentary, asks the "what-if" question: "What course would the Nazis have pursued had they actually overrun England?" The six films are on two disks, and all told they run over six hours.
