World War II Documentary Collection 8-Disc DVD Box Set
An extensive collection of archive documentaries tracing the Second World War from the rise of Nazi Germany and the Battle of Britain to the Pacific conflict and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his genuine love of cinema, unforgettable performances and the craft of filmmaking.
Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who believed that film could preserve history, reveal the consequences of political decisions and allow later generations to witness events far beyond their own experience. His collection included serious documentaries that demanded attention and treated the experiences of those who lived through war with respect.
This eight-disc World War II Documentary Collection follows the conflict across Europe, Britain, Russia, the United States and the Pacific through original archive footage, historical commentary and films produced during and after the war.
Prelude to War examines the political conditions and totalitarian regimes that helped create the path towards global conflict, while The Nazis Strike and Divide & Conquer trace Nazi Germany’s rapid expansion across Europe.
The Battle of Britain explores the aerial campaign fought above Britain during 1940, when Royal Air Force pilots and civilian communities faced sustained attack as Germany prepared for a possible invasion.
The Battle of Russia examines the vast and devastating war on the Eastern Front, where military operations, extreme weather and enormous civilian suffering contributed to some of the greatest losses of the entire conflict.
The collection then turns towards America and the Pacific through Fury in the Pacific and War Comes to America, before concluding with a documentary examining Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the catastrophic use of atomic weapons against Japan.
Several films within this collection originated as wartime information or propaganda productions. They remain historically valuable records but should be viewed with awareness of the political purpose, language and national perspective behind their creation.
A substantial addition for collectors of military history, archive film and serious documentary material examining the political, military and human realities of the Second World War.
