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.
History Observer Well made.Interestingly it appears the series was commissioned by a US Company but produced in by a UK crew (due to the nature of WWII being partly in Europe I imagine).Consequently, this TV show actually has 2 names and 2 narrations.In America I believe it is called Nazi Mega Weapons with a American narration.In UK I believe it is called Nazi Mega Structures with a British narration.It's nice to have a choice of narration.The series aired on Channel 4 in the UK.
grantss Great documentary series.It is not often nowadays that I watch a World War II documentary that teaches me something. Having read so many books and watched so many documentaries on the subject I figured there was nothing much more to know.Then I watched this series.The series details some of Germany's major construction and weapon projects during WW2. Shows very well the ingenuity and scale involved. Some are just pure attempts at one-upmanship (eg super-tanks), but most are born out of pure necessity.Definitely worth watching.
