There is a wide market for war-related information, and some of this is making its way onto DVDs.

Non-Fiction

	The Second World War in Colour (1999), (Region 2) Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War these videos present a vivid and realistic portrait of the events. Includes footage not seen on TV.
	Britain at War in Colour (2000), (Region 2) Documentary and newsreel film of World War II has been seen before, but Britain at War--In Colour is different. Much of the footage here was shot unofficially by servicemen and civilians as a personal record of events unfolding, giving the three programmes a more inward, human quality. "Darkest Hour" covers the period from the government's failed policy of appeasement, through the months of misfortune and failure, to the turn of the tide in North Africa late in 1942. "The Beginning of the End" traces the successes in Asia and the Atlantic, through the D-Day landings, to victory in Europe in April 1945. "Unknown Warriors" takes a chronological overview, through the letters and diaries of, and recent interviews with a dozen people caught up in the conflict. It makes for a detailed, informal and moving insight into the impact of war on those who live through it. (Amazon text)
	The Battle of Britain, Official History (Region 2) The Battle of Britain: The Official History presents three near hour-long documentaries charting not just the course of the legendary air battle but also the events surrounding that conflict. "The Fall of France" sets the scene from the beginning of the Second World War. As the story of the bombing of Rotterdam and the betrayal of Norway and France is documented the tone becomes one of conscionable moral outrage. "Britain Stands Alone" tells of the Battle of Britain proper, when the Royal Air Force successfully defended the coast of Southern England against the numerically overwhelming forces of the Luftwaffe, preventing any possible German invasion. "Their Finest Hour" recounts the Blitz, the massive Luftwaffe aerial bombing of British cities, especially London and Coventry, through the winter of 1940 to May 1941. Using excellent archive footage and including several historic broadcasts and speeches by Winston Churchill, this is horrifying, moving, yet uplifting filmmaking. Chronicling the true heroism of the RAF and the British people, this is the reality behind the 1969 feature film of the same title. (Amazon text)
