Title: If you are looking for real "HD," this is a fraud
Review: In the motion picture and television industry, "HD" refers to when a digital "high definition" transfer is made off of the original film. So I bought this expecting for once to see clear sharp images of WWII. However, most of the digital transfers in this program were made off of second and third generation footage, so the "HD" is meaningless hype. Further, absolutely no attempt was made to diminish scratches and dirt on the film. That technology is readily available, and expected from a genuine HD production. Sure, the film is old, but when an HD transfer is made off of the old original film, as was done in their promo, it looks clear and sharp. If you are strictly interested in the historical aspect of WWII this series is okay...no Ken Burns, but okay. But my motivation was to see clear images in real HD, as advertised, and from that point of view this is bait and switch.
