 Excellent time capsule March 14, 2008
This DVD is a must for anyone who strives for for some kind of grip on this extremely disturbing era. The color is important in helping one get a feel for the environment. Nazism is not just about afew evil men, it's also about all these all too normal people, these extraordinarily ordinary people who can be seen revelling in their colorful folk dress and their charming villages. This collection doesn't offer solutions because I don't think there are any conclusive ones at the moment. But you do get to see a great deal of compelling imagery providing food for thought and a real sense of being there. One segment in particular, "Night of the Amazons" is indescribable, it must be seen to be believed. Volume Two concentrates more on combat footage but for those who are are more interested in the common folk, this is a real gem.
Better than the original March 27, 2006

Like other reviewers, I think the sequel is better than the original. One only hopes that a 3rd installment will be issued with even better footage than the first two, especially if more 35mm films are found. Color adds a lot to the drama and presentation, mixing the horror of war and the death camps with pompous Nazi celebrations. Seeing these period films, it's hard to believe the Nazis were members of the human race.
Nowadays, top college football players to be drafted by the National Football League have to take a test of basic intelligence, the Wonderlic test. A score of 30, out of a possible 50, is considered a good score. Hitler and the other top Nazis would have been lucky to score a 10 on this test, because they simply couldn't count. What else could possibly explain attacking Russia and declaring war on America? At the same time, leaving Great Britain unconquered, and available later for a Western Front. The Nazis were outnumbered and had no chance to win, in the long run. For all their self-proclaimed superiority, these guys were simply not that smart.
Another thing that strikes me, especially in seeing atomic bombs exploding over Japan, is how incredibly lucky the Germans were. Hitler launched his last western counteroffensive in December, 1944. This was the "Battle of the Bulge," in American terms. If he had succeeded, World War II could have been stretched out 3 months or more. If that had happened, atomic bombs may have and probably would have been used on Nazi Germany. Thank heaven that didn't happen but it could have.
Excellent DVD's like this one should make us all appreciate what we have today, despite current happenings in the Middle East and elsewhere. There's a lot of kindness and decency to be seen around us, things that were in short supply 60-70 years ago. In 1940-45, the world stood on the brink of total destruction and we found a way out. Let's hope and believe good will triumph over evil again.
 It's OK, but..... February 25, 2006

The problem is they put in a lot of footage that is NOT of the Third Reich; such as, of Japan, England, America, etc. etc....
It was sort of like they did not have enough real footage, so they threw in a lot of off-topic stuff as filler.
Its OK, but not truely what it pretends to be. As for the on-topic footage it has, it was great.
Worth the money, good addition to any collection. October 14, 2005

The color film from the 1930's is of surprisingly good quality and the segments showing life in Germany at this time are quite interesting. An added bonus in the Special Features is a short promotional for Berlin from 1936 - in preparation for the summer Olympics held there that year. Beautiful. War related footage is good and most I had not seen before in 20+ years of collecting color video from WWII. The minus, in my opinion, is the mournful, tragic tone of the British narration and funereal-sounding background music which cycles maddeningly over and over. Subtly insulting to anyone who is knowledgeable about this period in history.
The very rare footage September 24, 2005
