Very low production value.......2006-01-01

I was very disappointed in this dvd. Despite having been recently released, it is basically someone's narrated vacation video from the 1980s (judging by the clothing of the Northern Europeans at the resorts where parts of this were filmed.) Having been to Greece, and in particular, Crete, for an extended period of time, this dvd failed to capture any authentic sense of the land or its people. I could tolerate a cliched look at Greece if the cinematography was even semi-professional and 'pretty', but this was a joke. At one point, there is a montage of windsurfing stock footage that seemingly has no place in the dvd. Color, sound and overall quality are poor and not worth the purchase, unless you've been to Greece and want a laugh. The only good thing that came out of watching this was my increased confidence in my own ability to produce a video for wide distribution.

Description

Europe's Secret Armies' is not only an exploration of the stories behind the resistance and partisan groups that formed to fight a hated oppressor. These were civilian armies, formed by ordinary men and women left with no other option but to go underground and strike back. The series hears from those who were not content to bend the knee or were not prepared to be part of Adolf Hitler's ever-growing Third Reich. The series also investigates the scope and style of resistance within Nazi Germany itself. Despite the Enabling Act these groups, which were often born of fear and resentment, were numerous before the war and many survived through it. Organisations such as the Solf Circle, the Kreisau Circle, the Eilbeck Comrades and the New Beginnen played a major role in the gradual erosion of Hitler's power on the home front.

Greece at its best.......2004-05-22

Santorini has the most scenic beauty of all the Greek islands with its white towns on cliffsides surrounding the vast caldera of an ancient volcano. Lots of footage of people and stores in Fira. Crete is the most diverse and lush of the Islands. The palace of Knossos is amazingly well preserved from the height of Minoan civilization, lots of shots as well of the smaller palace near Melia, active beach shots, British pubs, fishermen at work and a 5 star resort favored by royalty.
