Summary: The Color was Great if you're a fan of the Pacific Theater
Review: It is very different to watch WWII movies in color. Most of us are accustomed to the black and white scenes that are so very familiar.World War II in color is rather chilling. To see the war, its graphicness, its horror, even the mundane in color you get a more realistic view. The Video, which is actually two tapes concentrates mainly on events in the Pacific Theater of Operations. I found this to be disappointing since the European Thearter received such a lack of attention. But the scenes dealing with Europe are good, especially scenes of the V-2 rocket. Should you buy this video? If your main interest in World War II lies in the Pacific then yes. If not then this video is not a "must have".

Summary: A superb collection of high-quality color footage of WW II
Review: The only other documentary available of WW II utilizing color footage, that I am aware of, is the incredible one by George Stevens Jr, "D-Day to Berlin." It was therefore a revelation to purchase "WW II In Color" (from Amazon, I might add). I was surprised to see footage of both the European and South Pacific theaters (but some of it far too graphic for the eyes of children). If this documentary had the extraordinary script (narration) and musical score that "D-Day to Berlin" has, it would be of equal emotional impact. Regardless, this a most valuable look at WW II as it actually was seen (or much closer, that is). Included is footage taken and/or directed by Hollywood directors, John Ford, William Wyler, and both repeated and new footage from the camera of George Stevens (re: "D-Day to Berlin"). The reproduction of the color is quite excellent and the sound, often a problem with WW II documentaries, is very good here. Highly recommended.

Summary: Almost like you're there.
Review: This is a compilation of very high-quality color footage of various World War II battles. Particularly gripping are scenes from the battle of Tarawa and allied bombing raids over Germany. Emphasis tilted to footage of the Pacific theatre versus european. Recommended for WWII buffs.

Summary: AMAZING
Review: This is the fifth ww2 colour dvd that I have added to my collection, and I can say that it is easily the best. While mainly focusing on the oft neglected Pacific theatre of war, the main feature has some absolutely amazing shots, including colour footage from cameras mounted in the nose of american fighters in vicious dogfights over the pacific ocean, closeup action of intense combat and unseen images of Hitler and his entourage in the Eagles Nest. The dvd is put together very well and while footage for some areas of the war are missing, the gaps are filled in well with informative commentary. The combat footage is easily the most unedited I have ever seen, and is not for the faint hearted. The only glitch in this otherwise perfect WW2 dvd is the American focus, which we have to accept so often when it comes to documentaries. (I recommend "The British Story" as an alternative view)

Summary: Excellent combat footage
Review: Wow! This is a very interesting way to see World War II as it happened! I'm used to seeing WWII films and shorts (short films) in black and white. This is a totally different, but great perspective on one of the most important events in the 20th century!
