Slighty better than Timeless Media Group's usual fare...

"While Timeless Media Group usually recycles old documentary footage and passes it off as a "documentary" accompanied with bland narration, this set is slighty better because it is what is--US Government films not intended for the general public, but produced for the commanding generals and their immediate staff. Originally considered "too sensitive" for general viewing, these declassified films offer an interesting glimpse into the unseen WWII. Some segments, like "School for Jungle Life" is an instructional film for GI's fighting in the Pacific Theater while "RAF Sinks Tirpitz" offers some interesting footage on the demise of the German battleship in Norway. Most of this footage is overlooked by the better documentaries on WWII, but for those amateur historians who like to collect everything possible on WWII now available on disc, will undoubtedly find this footage interesting and affordable. Don't bother paying the Amazon price listed here; these sets can be found at Rite-Aid or Ross Dress for Less for considerably less."
