Just got the video collection: WWII, The Complete History - 10 DVD set. It has over 30 hours of video. Also has special features and original newsreels, too.
Yeah, it was good. There was action in it, but it wasn't action-packed either, by that I mean it wasn't gun-fights all the time.
However, reading about the real history of it afterwards it seems to be incorrect on a few things. That shouldn't stop you from seeing it though, as it was entertaining.
