    Beware of Changed Title2008-08-09
    This 4-DVD set contains two Documentaries, but for some unknown reason, Millcreek Entertainment has changed the titles of them, superimposing new digital titles on the screen. The two documentaries should be called "Crusade in the Pacific" and "Crusade in Europe," but inexplicably they're retitled "War in the Pacific" and "War in Europe."

    Also, Millcreek has placed their logo at periodic spots throughout each episode. Since these are public domain documentaries, there's plenty of other, intact editions available.
    WWII Fan?2008-02-09
    If your idea of good television is World War II documentaries on the History Channel, then you'll like this item. A lot of the films included are US propaganda films from the war years but that gives a different (if skewed) angle. The quality is decent. You might want to go for one of the lower-priced "new and used" ones.

    If you are real World War 2 Fan , you will not appreciate it.I think it is taken from some propaganda films done for the troops.I am very disappointed.

    The quality of the product is great. I just finished the first disc and am very impressed with the content, video and audio. It has been an eye opening history lesson for me.
