Don't waste your money

The only reason for the star is that the color and DVD quality are ok. As for the content:
Most of this DVD is stock footage. If you've seen a fair number of vintage war movies and World War II documentaries, much if not all of this will be deja vu. Not only is stock footage used, but it's used badly. In a segment on B-29s, we see stock footage of B-17s.
There is extensive padding, with scenes repeated over and over for supposedly different battles. There is further padding, with extensive segments that have nothing to do with Kamikazes; yet there's no attempt to provide historical background. (The narration contains silly, distracting grammatical gaffs.)
I'm watching a WWII movie from 1949 (Task Force), and I've already seen much of what the DVD has taken, plus some better scenes that the DVD omits, probably because they couldn't get the rights. So much for this self-described "extraordinary production".
Which leads me to suspect that this is just a slapping together of public domain newsreels, held together with routine narrative. It's mediocrity in a fancy package.
Don't waste your money.
