(Disc 4) Barbarossa - The massive offensive to take Russia was a huge gamble and flew completely in the face of the idea of Lightning War. Includes an intriguing reconstruction of a Tiger Crew in action. (Disc 1) Tigers in the Desert - The rise of Rommel and the advent of the Tiger Tank. Its rapid destruction and defeat is as much a testament to the power of Blitzkrieg as it was to the ineptitude of French military doctrine at that time. (Disc 3) The Fall of France - When Germany attacked France it faced arguably one of the largest and best equipped armies in Europe at that time. (Disc 6) Blitzkrieg - The early creation of the Panzer Divisions and the development Blitzkrieg as a means of wageing war. Here - in Chronological order - are the campaigns covered The order of the DVD's is a little weird but the content is excellent with very little overlap between them. This set consists of 6 DVD's each focusing on a different campaign or period of the war. However I have to say they are missing what is, in my humble opinion, a great series of historical programs. It's taken a while for me to watch these as needless to say nobody else in the house is that interested. I've been watching a series of DVD's I got at Christmas called Tank Battles of World War Two. ![]()
