hey are real stories of valiant missions, brave crews and intense combat.
Experience the high-seas drama of navies from around the world as they take part in the heat of battle in this collection from HISTORY. From Nazi ‘wolf packs’ to the battle of Okinawa, every major naval engagement of World War II is captured in this set, a powerful documentary series culled from over 13,000 hours of footage shot by the U.S., British, German and Japanese navies. Originally broadcast in 1952, this landmark series showcases some of the most riveting combat footage ever shot, now digitally restored and remastered.
The last 13 episodes profile the battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines, and specialized ships that belong in the warship hall of fame.

The product itself is very good but I was quite disappointed when I received it and found out that the first four DVDs are Victory at Sea DVDs. We already have that four-DVD set. Which means that I paid for 8 DVDs but can only use the 4 that cover the different ships. But they were good and we learned some new stuff, even though my husband is a WWII in the Pacific fanatic.
