SURPRISED,
I enjoy History’s Channel 360 dvd’s. I own three of them. When I ordered World War II 360 I thought it was about the complete war. Alas, I did not check into it further. It is about the aircraft carrier Enterprise and General Patton. It is actually quite good and I would have given it 5 stars, but I already own Enterprise 360 and General Patton. My fault for not reading all the information on what it’s about. But if your a history buff and like WWII,and do not own the others, this is excellent dvd to own.

Wow,
I really enjoyed this set of DVD’s and I’m hoping that the History Channel will continue this series. In general the shows are easy to follow and very informative. The computer graphics are neat because they fill in all the areas that the old film footage can’t. The 360 element is great as well, it gives you a birds eye view of the battlefields as well as some insight into the strategy used.
I especially liked the Patton series because it didn’t present Patton as the worlds best general. It showed his strengths and weaknesses as well as what his men thought about him. The show lets you draw your own conclusions by offering both sides. It was great being able to listen to the old veterans tell their tales as well. What an incredible and humble group of people.
