Description:
Throughout WWII and the years following a large number of documentaries and propaganda films were produced on virtually every aspect of the Second World War. This 10 DVD collector's set contains 30 documentary features ranging from Academy Award winning films directed by Hollywood legends Frank Capra and John Huston to films containing actual war-time footage depicting images and experiences no production company could replicate. With over 26 hours of content and with narration provided by Dwight D. Eisenhower, Paul Newman, Burgess Merdith and Clark Gable, WWII: The Ultimate Collection examines how the public memory of war in the twentieth century has often been created more by a manufactured past than a remembered one.

Rating:  - The camera as the ultimate historian
In WWII - THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION, the camera tells the story of the most momentous event of the 20th century far better than any historian or scholar could. Besides the many highly-regarded vintage documentaries, this set also includes a captured Nazi film on the war in Poland, Soviet coverage of the Nuremburg Trials and a U.S. Army Air Force training film that features a future U.S. president (no, not Eisenhower!).
Several of these titles may also be found on the WAR CLASSICS ... Read More
