WWII with Walter Cronkite,
I watched and loved this show when I was a kid (I know I am old!), and loved it when it came out on video tape back in the 80′s. When I saw it had been released on DVD I was elated because my video tapes had worn out. I was also happy to see how cheap it was compared to buying the old VHS tapes. I would highly recommend this series to both the serious WWII nut like me, or to someone who wants an easy to understand narrative of the war. It is unique in that it gives the human perspective to events, and is not just a video with impersonal facts and film clippings. It is a great companion piece to The World at War (which is also available on DVD). I would highly recommend buying this DVD set.
