    The Reich Capital of Berlin had more influence on the German people than any other city in Nazi Germany. This DVD explores the history of this world famous city through glorious archive footage, starting at the turn of the century and the introduction of the Weimar Republic in 1918. Following the Greater Berlin Act in the 1920s, the city boundaries changed massively and this expansion made the population of the city soar to over four million. The footage provides stirring and emotional moving pictures of Berlin before the outbreak of war. This documentary also shows the beautiful German landscape between Memel and Weichsel, East Prussia, also known as “Land of the dark forests and crystal lakes”. Sporting luscious greenery and teeming wildlife, it was the most fertile land in the Reich. The DVD finishes by exploring the typical farmers life in East Germany using rare footage that is unseen outside of Germany.

    Before the Second World War, the technology linked with aeroplanes was still very much in its infancy. As the thirties reached their conclusion, the increasing probability of war meant that there was an increased surge in the development of aircraft to provide an additional form of warfare to both sides. In July 1936, these advances in technology were being put to the test by Hitler during the Spanish Civil War, where the Germans aided the nationalists and honed their Blitzkrieg attacks. However, the Second World War saw the first large scale aerial battles in the history of warfare, with all nations relying heavily on the aeroplane. Even though the risk from enemy bombers was expected on most large towns and cities throughout Western Europe, the defence against such attacks were extremely poor. It was almost impossible to believe that the long range Bombers would cause such devastation. Anti-aircraft guns and barrage balloons were still very much in their infancy and their successes against enemy aircraft was limited. It wasn't until the latter years of the war that truly efficient countermeasure were introduced. These two films contain over fifty minutes of captivating footage on air warfare, ranging from the mass dogfights between allied and enemy fighter planes in the skies to the impressive anti-aircraft defence units found in towns and cities. These Flak guns were often massive pieces of machinery that could bombard enemy planes with shells, with the German 88 becoming one of the most famous and lethal AA guns in history. The extraordinary battles in the skies between fighters and bombers are documented using original footage from onboard cameras, excerpts of which have only recently been discovered and have never been seen before.

    Between 1939 and 1945, the nations involved in the Second World War fought tirelessly for the skies above Europe and the Pacific Ocean. In order to secure victory against the enemy, the quality of the planes and the skill and courage of the pilots would be a deciding factor which would ultimately give the victor the upper hand in the war. Often the advanced technology of the planes would determine the outcome of life and death. This military DVD explores the many varying forms of aircraft used during WWII and the famous pilots and squadrons that flew them. Using original archive footage, the DVD documents the infamous “Lafayette Escadrille”, the “Eagle Squadron” and the “Flying Tigers”. These squadrons consisted of pilots that flew missions for other countries in return for large sums of money. In a time of honour and national pride, these pilots were modern day “Bounty Hunters” who killed for the side offering the highest price. The “Flying Tigers” were an unofficial squadron formed by the USA, with its members holding lucrative contracts with salaries three times what they would usually earn in the U.S. Air Force. Combined with a selection of bonus footage and original picture galleries, this DVD gives a fascinating insight into some of the most colourful aviation characters of the Second World War.

    The vast oceans throughout the world played host to a majority of the fiercest and strategically vital operations of the entire Second World War. As well as varying types of vessels upon the water, ranging from the support boats to the fourty-thousand ton aircraft carriers, there were also the deadly U-Boats lurking beneath the waves playing a pivotal part in the sea warfare. In this DVD, original archive material helps to explore the missions carried out in many of the world’s most recognisable oceans, ranging from the Norwegian and the North Sea to the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Upon these vast expanses of water, Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, Cruisers, Destroyers and U-Boats all battled it out in the ultimate fight for survival in an attempt to provide the turning point for the war effort. The DVD gives extended reference to the Kriegsmarine who used auxiliary cruisers to disrupt the convoys on their transport missions. The crews of these cruisers were often at Sea for months on end without ever setting foot on dry land. These men were made to carry out their tasks in a variety of refurbished merchant vessels and these two films give an insight into the missions they carried out.
