The World At War (DVD 2003)

A world-renowned, difinitive history of the most important global events in living memory. What more do you need to know?

This documentary series had such a profound effect on me during it's initial run in the seventies. I still rate it as the best, on any subject, of all. To cap it that, the opening titles and score will go down in history as some of the most haunting ever.

excellent overview of ww2, you can follow threads (like in the pacific; or in europe etc) and get a feel for how the global picture looked. There is lots of real-time footage, and interviews with people like Albert Speer among others.
If you're interested in a good broad picture of WW2, this is an excellent buy.

I bought this dvd because of my intrest of world war 2. I reaally enjoyed this dvd as it gave you all angles of the war from british,german,russian,japan and americas points of view.The world at war tells you about Hitler and germany uprising up to the end of the third reich and how the allies rebuilt after the war.

did not bid on this item i bought it and paid through pay pal, but did not receive it, then had to go through pay pal to get my payment back. so i will not by from this seller again.

This is the definitive documentary on the second world war and is a timeless classic. it was made in 1973 and its format has become the standard which all other second world war documentarys are made.
as it uses all original archive footage it will never loose any if its original atmosphere.
For value for money it is excellent totaling over 35 hours veiwing time and is something that can be watched time and time again.

This is the documentary that shows the way.
Sensational visuals - commentary by Laurence Olivier!!
If you have any interest in this subject matter the this is unmissable - don't dither, just buy it.

I like the world at war because it is the best series of the second world war. I decided to buy the dvd set as I had old videos copys done from the t.v. I bought it on ebay as it was avery good price

i bought it because i have wanted it for a long long time , now i have it , it is just the best you can get on ww2 , no iffs or butts , its the best , no disslikes at all ,

The World At War is the finest documentary ever produced, hard hitting'cruel
sad'stomach churning chapters in history'combined with a spine chilling music score by carl davis'television Gold

A must have of history. Excellent. From start to finish a well written and presented view of events that happened in the 1930's, 40's that has shaped the world now.
