HBO Home Video

Amour modelers are always looking for interesting subjects and information to base there works on. Most working from still photos and bits of info to complete a vehicle or diorama setting!

Having a review of a DVD set here on Missing Lynx might be a bit odd, but for those of you who haven’t see this important series should take to time to do so.

For the price of a couple of nice amour kits you can have undoubtedly the very best documentary on World War II.

The "The World at War" was produced in the early 1970s it still packs a wallop in terms of scope and unbiased presentation.

For the full impact, I would recommend watching the series in chronological order mainly because the series is set up that way! But the way that this set is presented you can easily pick out favorite timeline episodes which interest you.

Every one of the 26 chapters are extremely well detailed in terms of interviews and archival footage.

Without question, anyone who is remotely interested in World War II history must have this collector’s edition DVD … buy it & enjoy the ultimate World War two resource.You can visit there site for more info:
