| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Excellent Documentary |
| I am very satisfied by this DVD set. It contains numerous interviews with veterans of the campaign. It also interviews numerous historians to get their perspective. It makes good use of color film whenever possible.
It is a 3 dvd set and 5.5 hours in length. A world war II buff won't be disappointed with this set. It has segments on the prelude to Iwo Jima, and a brief hour on the aftermath of Iwo Jima and the Okinawa invasion. The main documentary (2.5 hours) is direct coverage of the Iwo Jima invasion. It is all color film. There is a great scene of an observation aircraft filming a flame-thrower tank. The veteran interviews are moving and eye-opening. I finished watching with an uneasy and sad set of emotions. The documentary is that good. Did you know that the Japanese used rocket-propelled, human-piloted bombs dropped from twin engine planes as one form of Kamikaze attack? Did you know that American pilots on Iwo Jima were attacked in their camps by lingering Japanese that had been thought to have been mopped up? Did you know that the Japanese were taking refuge up to 5-stories deep in the island? Just some of the many things I learned. I have found the Timeless Media Group to produce some excellent DVD box sets. I hope they continue to live up to this level of quality. |
