Any of u watching "The World at War" on the Military Channel?

[Torvald Von Mansee]

They've been showing it.

It's made a shade under 30 years after the war, which allows:

1. interviews of people high up in their respective power structures, while still young enough to retain their faculties

2. long enough after for sober analysis of the events discussed

I think it's about the best documentary made about WW2, so far.

Its a fascinating series with first hand accounts.

A very important piece that needed to be made when it was.

I own the set 11 dvd's. :salute:

Got the boxset for Christmas but haven't had time to watch it yet. It is a remarkable piece of television; one of the finest documentaries ever made IMO.

I don't have the Military Channel :har:

Yep. It's only in North America, probably. However, I'm sure there are many avenues by which one may see the documentary in question.

Does it start with a short intro and a burning The World at War text? If it does it can found on youtube as well.

My guess would be "almost certainly"

You can find most things you want on YouTube.

Watched and recorded it many years ago. Have owned it on DVD for a couple of years.

Owned it on VHS, then replaced it on DVD. One of the best WW2 series there is.

The DVD's have added extras that were never in the original set.

[Nickolas]

the one narrated by Sir Laurece Olivier? i have 4 dvds of the series... and i LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too bad we dont get good documentaries over here D:

[Ishmael]

Yeah, I've been watching it too. I saw it when first broadcast as well. West Point uses the series in their WW2 history classes. I watched the one on the Battle of Britain last night and it was cool to see Adolf Galland interviewed. The Battle of The Atlantic one actually interviews Karl Doenitz personally.
