Geronimo: The U.S. Airborne In World War II

Rating:
Summary: Wow! A great DVD at a great price!
Review: I picked up this DVD because I had just seen Band of Brothers and wanted to know more about the airborne during WWII. Wow, what a treat this documentary was! First the format is very different - there was no narrator - instead the whole program is made up of interviews of Airborne vets and historians. It works very well and really puts you in their shoes. Very informative and accrate from what I could tell. Not only did I learn a lot about the airborne during WWII but I was rivited to the screen - very well done.

There are two main programs:

Normandy - from the training before D-Day through to the fighting during the breakout.

Market Garden - A less well-known airborne mission that eventually ended in failure.

And a lot of good extras:

Training
Missions in:
Sicily
Italy and
Southern France

Highly recommended!!!
