DVD Reviews of Ultimate Collections: World War II
DVD Review: HodgePodge of Uneven History Channel WW2 Docs
Summary: 2 Stars
I used to be a great fan of the History Channel documentries, before it transformed itself into the Ice Trucker Channel. I particularly liked the ones narrated by Edward Herrmann. Some of the best documentaries are not in this set. For example, no bios of Hitler, Churchill, Eisenhower or Patton, though there is one on General MacArthur. The only attempt at an overall view of the war are in the first four disks, which covers some of the major battles in Europe (none from the Eastern front) and the Pacific. These 4 disks cover 14 battles, plus a bio of Admiral Halsey, in about 3 1/2 hours. Given the number of battles covered don't expect much depth in these docs. The narrator is the late actor Patrick O'Neal, whose narration voice is an acquired taste. Strangely, the Battle of Okinawa is covered both on these disks and on disk 6. The other topics covered appear to be picked at random from History Channel vaults. The best of this uneven lot are the two disks (9 and 10) on Great Blunders of WW2. Discs 5 through 8 are a rip off, with only 50 minutes of programming on each disk. Surely, A&E, the compiler, could have offered more and better choices.
