bettycjung 6/1/18. This seems to be 6 episodes from the 24-episode documentary, Nazi Mega Weapons. The 6 episodes I saw were pretty good. Each episode dealt with an engineering project the Nazi regime spent time and money on building an infrastructure that would support it for a thousands years. So, they were planning for the long-term. If you are history buff, you will probably appreciate the coverage with archival footage and serious narrative.

yusufooi_1997 Practically every comment on every release is just "Thanks" or "gr8 up". On occasion I'll post a review or critique of the show to let others know if it's worthwhile. I wish others would too. . . .Now then. This is a typically terrible and lazy NG/DC/HC/MC documentary: to make what ought to be--given the amount of information presented--a ten minute show last an hour, they rehash everything after each commercial break and roll the same historical video clips and lousy animations over and over again. Featured are breathless experts of dubious credentials, terribly acted "reconstructions" (with an actor who looks nothing like Hitler), and, of course, facts taken out of context, such as the first episode's implication that Rommel was forced to commit suicide because of the failure of the Atlantic Wall defenses to stop the invasion of Normandy. . .not because of the assassination plot in which he was (probably wrongly) accused of being a conspirator. Anyway, if one can stomach the numerous flaws endemic to these shitty productions, you might learn something in the few minutes of interesting content per episode. Just keep your finger near the fast forward button.

drjgardner Anyone interested in history, and especially World War 2, will find this compelling viewing. While we are aware of some of the mega weapons invented by the Nazis (e.g., the V2, the Bismarck, the Panzer) this show goes into great detail about each of the weapons and weapon systems. We learn not merely about the weapons, but their comparative value as well as their development, including costs, man power (often slave labor), and their priority within the political arena.Even more interesting, there are on-site investigations of sunken ships (the Tripitz), abandoned manufacturing depots (the Panzers), re-modeled dry docks, etc. They have "battlefield archaeologists" and weapons experts and historians to bring you through every aspect of the show.The only real fault is the guy who plays Hitler. Otherwise this is a great show.

tekware This comes across exactly like a History Channel produced show, with a combination of history, CGI, and reality TV style fake drama.A few years ago someone at the History Channel got a new computer. Suddenly all their history shows looked exactly the same, with phony computer generated tank battles, CGI plane battles, CGI ship battles, etc. This looks like it was done on the same computer. Same overly dramatic music, same need to create drama, same inability to just tell the viewers what happened and why. It's history. It has already happened. Just tell the viewers what happened, why it happened, and how it happened. If you have footage, include it. If I want to watch a fictional drama based on history I'll watch a movie. Not worthy of PBS.
