Nazi Mega Weapons

This comes across exactly like a History Channel produced show, with a combination of history, CGI, and reality TV style fake drama.

A few years ago someone at the History Channel got a new computer. Suddenly all their history shows looked exactly the same, with phony computer generated tank battles, CGI plane battles, CGI ship battles, etc. This looks like it was done on the same computer. Same overly dramatic music, same need to create drama, same inability to just tell the viewers what happened and why. It's history. It has already happened. Just tell the viewers what happened, why it happened, and how it happened. If you have footage, include it. If I want to watch a fictional drama based on history I'll watch a movie.

Not worthy of PBS.

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.

Good show but the worst casing if a Hitler ever. The guy they picked looks more like Don Knotts.

Thankfully the information in this production was excellent...HOWEVER..Who ever cast the people in it,must have been having a bad day!...Adolf Hitler,was a joke,he looked more like my friend next door!...Cannot fault the series though...very informative!..I never realised such weapons were thought of,and most impressive was the Norway Gun...Now that is something!.....I would recommend this to anyone interested in Super weapons.....It amazes me that the Germans were so advanced in weapons,I would not be surprised in years to come,more will be found,hidden in caves or mountains,the Germans certainly had the technology.

Great insight and enthusiasm by the presenters. If you have half an interest in WW2 history then is this 100% worth watching.
