Product Description: Why We Fight World War II - Prelude To War - The Nazis Strike & WW II In Color - Thunderbolt - 2 War Documentary DVDs In Set DVD 1. Why We Fight World War II -Prelude To War - The Nazis Strike: PRELUDE TO WAR is the most wide-ranging movie in the series. It stretches back from Moses & the Ten Commandments to `we hold these truths to be self evident' to the Lincoln Memorial to establish America as one of the `lighthouses of liberty' of the Free World. Capra contrasts this with the Slave World of Germany, Italy, and Japan, where men `threw away their human dignity,' destroyed the temples of worship, indoctrinated the youth in the habits of militarism, & forsook free thought for blind obedience to their charismatic leaders. The contrast of regimented life in the Axis states to the free life in the rest of the world. Japan's Tanaka Plan, it's `blueprint for world domination' & Japan's invasion of Manchuria & China in the early '30s. Also Italy's attack on Ethiopia in 1935. THE NAZIS STRIKE devotes much of its time to `the German's passion for conquest.' It details the German bloodless invasion of Austria, invasion and conquest of Czechoslovakia, the non-aggression pact entered into with Russia, & ends with the bloody invasion & conquest of Poland in 1939. DVD 2. WW II In Color - Thunderbolt: Co-Directed by Academy Award winner William Wyler & nominee John Sturges, the film depicts life & death in a P-47 Thunderbolt Fighter-Bomber U. S. squadron based in Italy. Introduced by U.S. pilot/Oscar winner James Stewart & narrated by Commanding General: Carl Spotz who gives the viewer a good look at Italy, the base, & combat. The strafing runs are excellent, taken by a camera mounted in the planes on actual missions. It Shows the suffering of noncombatants, showing bombed-out buildings, children playing near a burned corpse, & haggard, war-weary men & women. The aerial footage is excellent, & the tragic results of a Thunderbolt crash quite graphically!
