The World at War is a must have. The interviews alone make it one of a kind.
Recently I have been watching a show on the Military Channel called Hitler's Bodyguard some of those episodes are really cool. There is one episode on when Hitler flew, the types of planes and security plans and features, one about his Armored command Train and another about his Automobile's and his driving security and protection. There is also an entire episode about the Wolf's Lair.

I just watched this film and have to say that it is probably the best WW2 documentaries I have seen. It's not a history lesson...just a real look at what people went through and how they won the war.

Some of my favourites have already been mentioned, so I'll go a bit further afield and mention "Attack in the Pacific". It's made in a very sober, serious style, without the propaganda hysterics of early war films, and it devotes a lot of time to what goes into the planning and execution of an amphibious assault.
Note by the way that the dates cited for this film are misleading: the Internet Movie Database says it was made in 1944, and the film itself carries the date of (I think) 1950. Both are wrong. It's clear from watching the film that it was made after the invasion of Okinawa (which is mentioned) but before the atom-bombing of Japan (which isn't mentioned) or the Japanese surrender (because it's evident from the closing narration that the war is still going on). My guess is that the war ended before the film could be released and that it was shelved until 1950.

Little hopper, the best series that I have ever seen was called "Battlefield". It appeared on public television stations. I would really like to find copies of this on dvd. |

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

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.
