By far the most engaging, horrific, exciting and realistic cinematic war experience ever brought to the TV.

You follow an elite young group of men from their first days of army training through to the most hellish war time stories of the invasion, D-Day. As you follow these young men you really get to know the soldiers, where they come from, who they are and what they stand for, and begin to understand the sacrifices and suffering they went through during WWII.

Each episode focuses on a different engagement as they travel throughout Europe as the campaign against the Nazis begins and ends.

The series also includes snippets of interviews of the actual soldiers that these characters are based on, real men, real men who fought, suffered and watched as their fellow brothers heroically gave their lives for the cause and the guy in the fox hole next to them.

I have watched this series numerous times and am never disappointed, its action packed with a gripping drama story, intense fire fights and characters you can really relate to.

Worth every cent!

This is a fantastic series by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It shows what these men went through extremely well and can make you quite emotional in some places… you feel like your there with them… Definite for any war, Spielberg, Hanks or action fan…

My partner and I enjoyed this thoroughly … Really clever and the story draws you in so it's impossible to stop watching once the first disc has come to an end. In goes the next one until the entire set of discs is exhausted and then we were both so disappointed because there weren't any more !!!!!! There are some scenes that may be disturbing to young people, especially when the concentration camp is liberated – so just watch out for that. We did let our 11 year old watch with us, it has got an MA15+ rating for a good reason.
