TARGET: World War Two Videos

[Paige Ysteboe <Paige_Ysteboe@ABSS.K12.NC.US>]

We have a need for videos about World War II  for our sixth grade classes. The
only things we have right now are a couple of 16mm films in black in white (and
the teacher swears that nothing else has been made that equals them in giving a
overview of the war).  As I looked through catalogs, I noticed two things:

1. That it is difficult to find a 60 minutes or so video that gives an overview
of the war.

2. That it is difficult to find WWII videos that are recommended for 6th grade.

That said, I did find two potential videos but I know nothing of their quality.
 For each series, I would purchase the European Theater sections because that
is what the 6th graders study.  The videos I'm interested in are:
1.  World War II:  The War Chronicles
2. World War II:  Time Capsule Series

Does anybody know anything about these videos and are there any other videos
available that would suit my needs?

Many thanks in advance,
Paige
