DVD Reviews of The Battlefield: The Battle for the Mediterranean
DVD Review: A good overview - differs from other titles in the series
Summary: 3 Stars
I learned a lot from this dvd. It is roughly 1 hour 38 minutes. It covers not a single battle but a series of large and small battles that comprised the Mediterranean campaign. It is an overview of a campaign rather than a battle within a campaign. It is almost too grand in scope.
It is different from the other battlefield titles that I have seen in that it does NOT follow the expected format. The expected section breaks on the leaders, weapons, prelude to battle, aftermath, etc. that are the hallmark structure for the battlefield series is not followed. This format could not be used when covering a campaign vs. a single battle. Still, I found myself missing the profiles of the various key armaments.
Instead you are given an overview of the major battles that took place in and around the Mediterranean from 1940 - 1943. It is good material -but broad in scope and somewhat undetailed. In each battle, the leaders are mentioned but not truly profiled.
The DVD uses many of the same images throughout the broadcast... italian planes flying overhead, british 8th army digging in, the scenes are representative of the actual events but are used 2-4 times in the program. It is kind of redundant and causes the viewer to lose interest.
So although I respect the efforts of those who put this documentary together, I had some dissappointment when it deviated from the expected format of coverage. From this point of view, the program doesn't really feel like other titles in the series.
Still, as someone who is interested in the topic, you certainly won't be disappointed with what the show presents.
