Product Description

While D-Day began officially on June 6, 1944, the invasion of France actually started on the 5th, as thousands of paratroops dropped into Normandy. The battles that raged in the months that followed resulted in the liberation of Paris, and sealed Germany's fate.

Featured on this DVD are three rare films made by the U.S. Army and British Ministry of Information in the aftermath of V-E Day, showing how Europe was liberated. They include "D-Day Minus One" which considers the airborne assault and the sacrifices made by the paratroops, "Seabees at Normandy" which focuses on the role Construction Battallions played in moving supplies to the beachheads, and finally the 80-minute long epic "The True Glory" directed by famed directors Carol Reed and Garson Kanin. Winner of a special Academy Award(tm), this stunning film traces the campaign from the shores of France to Berlin. It's history, like you've never seen it before.

Digitally remastered and restored from original 16mm film prints, some of the films on this DVD have never been made available to the public. Because of their age and rarity, image and sound quality can vary.

Films are black and white. Over 120 minutes of material.

Please note: this DVD is presented in the DVD-R format. It may not be compatible with older DVD players. See your player's instruction manual for more information.

A NEAT collection of films about WWII in Europe !.......2006-11-26

The True Glory is one of WWII's lost masterpieces. I had never heard of this film before, but after watching it, I think it's safe to say I'd seen huge pieces of it on TV -- diced and sliced by the History Channel. Anyway, what you are getting here is the original, uncut, hour and a half version of this Academy Award winning film about combat in Europe. It's hosted, I guess you can say, by Dwight Eisenhower who introduces it and provides some narration. Joining him are dozens of people in the voice-over, in their own words, describing things that happened as they fought to bring down Hitler and Germany in 1944-45. Also on the DVD are two neat films, one about the Airborne assaults prior to D-Day, and one about building artificial harbors in Normandy. All in all this is a really interesting DVD that puts you back in the "feeling" of WWII. It was made, after all, just after it happened!

The best movie about World War II.......2005-03-28

Is "Saving Private Ryan" a great WW II movie? Yes it is. Was the Battle of D-Day the greatest campaign of the war? No, it wasn't, D-Day and the period leading up to it and the campaign through France was a tremendous effort that brought men close to greatness, but it pales compared to the efforts on the Russian Front. As Lt. John Eisenhower said in a toast in Moscow, shortly after the war was over, "I propose a toast to the man responsible for winning the War... the common Russian soldier." So lay off Cyrus.

Everyone should see "Saving Private Ryan," especially those who don't appreciate what it took to beat the Germans and the Japanese. They don't know how close we came to losing World War II and living in HELL for generations afterward. The men and women who fought in this War against the Axis powers are true heroes, whether they be Americans, Russians, British, Indians, Philippinos, or dozens of other nationalities. The hell that hundreds of thousands went through is conveyed in "Saving Private Ryan."

"Saving Private Ryan" is more than just a combat film. The opening and ending scenes tell us that these were real people, with families, hopes and dreams. And so many of the men and women who fought the Axis never realized those dreams, for they bought freedom with their lives. Other scenes within the movie tell us that the men we are watching on the screen are more than just trained killers, but ordinary guys who just want to go home again.

But if you want to see the greatest movie about World War II, I suggest "The Best Years of Our Lives." It won eight academy awards, but it didn't have one scene of combat as it took place immediately after the end of the War. I saw "Saving Private Ryan" once, and that is enough. I can never see "The Best Years of Our Lives" enough times. Two other truely great films about World War II are "A Walk in the Sun" and "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit." Like "The Best Years of Our Lives," these are stories about War and how it changes men.

My Favorite War Movie in an Excellent Set!.......2005-03-16

Saving Private Ryan, wow. This film REALLY grabs you in every way. It is dark, violent, and realistic to it's brutal extreme. It is also a beautiful work of art by masterful director Steven Spielberg, and the crew that made E.T., Artificial Intelligence, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, etc...

You must see the movie, I don't care which edition you buy, "although this set is pretty neat!"

CYRUS...Why does there always have to be that 10% ???.......2004-12-04

This movie, whether it is 100% accurate or not, should be very moving to all Americans. The intent was to honor the sacrifices of our greatest generation, and give us all a glimpse of the terror those men faced. This movie was, and should be, life-changing. If it doesn't stack up to your intellectually superior standards, please just refrain from comment instead of undermining it's honorable intent...

Great war flick.......2004-10-20

Saving Private Ryan set the standard for what we, the public, expect in a war flick. The combination of special effects, grusome reality, well placed action, well scripted acting. SPR doesn't shouldn't be mistaken, as others have suggested, as to what war is really like, but to let you see through the memories of what war veterans look back upon. The comradery, the loss of friends, the carnage and brutality of war. This isn't for the tea-sippin' sissy college student who think they have the answer to life but yet to get one, so, in other words, this isn't for a person who likes "the thin red line". If you want anti-war and anti-patriotic flicks, see "All's Quiet on the Western Front" Saving Private Ryan is successful at showing us what AMERICANS had to go through during the Normandy campaign. Not British, Russian, or cheese-eating frenchies, but AMERICAN. We made this movie, CYRUS, so if you want to see a movie about the russians in WWII, why don't you ask them to make one. Hollywood is in America, they make movies for AMERICANS, because we want them and will pay alot of money to see them.

good movie, not perfect.......2004-07-16

Private ryan was a decent war flick, but was it the best? I wouldn't go that far. It was bloody and all, but it didn't have very good writing. Tom hanks is also overrated in this movie. This film doesn't compare to movies like "das boot", "the thin red line", or "cross of iron". The reviewer down below should take a chill pill, you don't prove your case by using tons of exclamation points and by calling people names. We all have opinions, and they should be respected.

ASIN: B000NW8S8G

Product Description

A NEW World War II Documentary recently reviewed in the New York Times. This 5-Part independent project, filmed in a style similar to Ken Burns, follows the real-life story of a Philadelphia teenager who left his large Irish family to join the famous 101st Airborne Division during WWII. The film uses only real voices of WWII airborne veterans rather than voice-over narration. These aging troopers describe their personal war, one place and one incident at a time in the largest conflict in human history. Humble heroes recount jump training at Fort Benning; brief romances in England and a night jump into Normandy. The lone survivor of C-47 Plane #5, tells how his "lucky $20 bill" was signed by everyone before taking off to an unknown fate. A second combat jump into Holland precedes 72 days along Hell's Highway. These troopers came home with not only Purple Hearts, but also traumatic memories that still resonate as if they happened yesterday. Sisters and brothers describe a trooper's teenage years before their world was turned upside down after December 7th 1941. This story ends in the small town of Bastogne, soon to become a household word after the Christmas of 1944. Lives of a young Belgian boy and a paratrooper not much older, are miraculously saved and reconnected with a Prayer Card ...returned after 62 years. A year in the making, this independent documentary project uses interviews, vintage wartime Philadelphia home movies, personal photo collections, captured German film and material from the National Archives never seen before. The band of brothers weren't the only ones with a story. These veterans of the 501st & 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiments share some their most vivid memories for the first and probably the last time. Directed and edited by independent filmmaker and Vietnam Veteran Guy Anhorn, the project features original music, A Paratroopers Theme by Zak Rosa and My Brothers & Me by Chris Winward.
