GREAT DAY. My DVDs of the Battlefield documentarys came today from Amazon.com. Twelve two hour episodes on four blueray discs. (1080HD) Of course I suppose blueray will be of little value with these old WWII films. If you have never seen this series then I am telling you now that they are as good or better than any I have ever seen. And I have been watching WWII docs. ever since Victory at Sea first came out. Which dates back almost to when tv first became available in Indianapolis. I think I was in jr. high school when I first saw Victory at Sea.

The Big Battles ( very accurate and good facts)
World at War
Victory at Sea

The last two i got the soundtracks and the narration by Lawrence Olivier is the best ever
The narration of Victory at Sea is inspiring to be an American and should be watched every 4th of July.

Also the BBC production of World War Two is great as well. 4th place

Victory at Sea was narrated by Leonard Graves.

Enterprise360 is also a very good documentary that is fairly recent.

I enjoyed watching this, but I would have liked it better if the narrator didn’t treat every sentence of his script as if it ended in an exclamation point.  I found that part to be a bit overdone.

Must add “Guadalcanal Island of Death” to the list of documentarys. This is the best information I have ever seen on the Guadalcanal campaign. Running time 230 mins. on 2 DVDs.

Been watching “The Last Days of WWII” on Netflix. Covers the last 26 weeks of the war.Goes into a little further detail about minor battle you don’t hear much about, but, as the title implies, it’s only the last six months of the war.

The Battlefield series (mainly series 1 & 2)

They go very in depth in terms of the order of battle and the background/leadership of each battle.

The best is one called “The Big Battles” B&W circa 1963 ish?

Playing that in the backround while playing is a must
