Synopsis:



The Definitive History Of The Second World War

There has never been a war like it. And there has never been a documentary series that more fully examines that war.

Previously only available on videocassette, the complete The World At War series is now available for the first time on DVD, featuring brand new digital masters created from new prints struck from the original negatives.

Narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier, The World At War draws on an extraordinary wide collection of newsreel, propaganda and home movie footage - including rare footage of Adolf Hitler taken by his mistress Eva Braun - gathered from both the victor nations and the conquered.

The World At War also includes interviews with journalists, housewives, soldiers and historians, Polish, Dutch, Italian and Hungarian Jewish camp survivors, survivors, survivors of Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, and the fire-bombing of Dresden; as well as uniquely devastating descriptions by participants as far-reaching as:
Traudl Junge, Hitler's secretary
Karl Wolff, SS General and Hitler's adjutant
Marquis Kido, the Emperor Hirohito's chief advisor
Heinz Linge, Hitler's valet
Mitsuo Fuchida, leader of the Pearl Harbor attack
Takeo Yoshikawa, a spy at Pearl Harbor
Jame Stewart, film actor and U.S fighter pilot
Alger Hiss, US State Department Advisor to President Roosevelt
Paul Tibbets, a pilot on the Hiroshima-targeted Enola Gay

Voices like these, and the extraordinary range of footage that accompanies them, make The World At War a truly definitive and unique eyewitness documentary series on all fronts of the Second World War.
