WWII in HD
DVD - 3 discs, Blu-Ray - 2 discs
From the History Channel.
The quality of much of what is seen in the course of these 10 episodes (each around 45 minutes long) is surprisingly good. Add to that the fact that most of it is in color (not colorized, but originally recorded in that medium, some at the behest of the United States government), and the result is nothing short of astonishing.
