Restricted Films of World War II



Great WWII Videos
This is another good set from Timeless Video. This set is from the group of U.S. videos taken in Europe and Pacific which were classified and released recently with the Freedom of Information Act. They are complete with maps and commentary, and will be video not seen before. They will show some U.S. defeats the military didn't want the public to see. The time period is from roughly the last half of 44 and the 1st of 45. Confidential, the companion set from Timeless Video, is late 43 through the 1st half of 44. The video is mostly crystal clear. Some of it is a little dark.

This is the real thing.
This is strictly real footage. There is continual commentary, but the interesting part is watching events occur in actual video shot at the time events occurred. It can get a little long, but well worth watching for those history buffs ... like me. I was fascinated by it. Black Triangle

Poorly titled
I purchased "Restricted Films of WWII" because it implied that the contents were never (or seldom) seen before. Actually, there's nothing "restricted" about the DVDs. The entire product is simply a series of news reels that millions of people have already seen, and, quite honestly, the news reels are quite bland. Don't bother purchasing this one.
