J02 - CLASSIC ATOMIC BOMB PROPAGANDA FILMS FOOTAGE DVD

The 1950's was the start of the post war atomic age. As the world began to understand the power of atomic weapons, the cold war and the arms race officially began. Gone were the days of innocence. Man had stepped on to a new frontier, the age of nuclear weapons. During that time, much misinformation was being spread. No one new the power of nuclear weapons. The US government released a series of short films in an attempt to educate (perhaps misinform?) the general public. These civil defense films are documented and preserved here, in this rare and classic collection on DVD. Many of these films were shown to Baby Boomers in school. Makes a great gift for the aging Baby Boomer as these films do document a period in our history that many lived through.

J07 - NAZI WAR CRIMES, WORLD WAR II NUREMBERG TRAILS DVD

This DVD is a collection of short newsreels regarding the Nazi War Crimes, as well as a longer film on postwar Germany. The short films are snippets from the Nuremburg trials.

J08 - NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS, WORLD WAR II, RARE FILMS

This is not for the faint of heart. This chain of human events must be taught to our children, and their children, so that the world will never forget the Holocaust. Most of the footage was shot first hand by soldiers, and is believe to be the only footage in existence showing these events and the conditions at the concentration camps. Very moving and surreal video to watch. This video is great for educators, scholars, and historians alike. Will likely be too difficult to watch for a Holocaust survivor or a family touched by the Holocaust.

J10 - VINTAGE NUCLEAR BOMB TESTING FILMS 1950S 2 DVD SET

This 2 DVD disk set covers much of the testing done by the United States in the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's. Discussed here is the effects of radiation on the human body, the effects of blasts on homes, and the science behind atomic weapons.

J17 - WHY WE FIGHT, WW II, THE NAZIS STRIKE, 3 DVD'S

Why We Fight is a series of seven documentary films commissioned by the United States government during World War II to demonstrate to American soldiers the reason for U.S. involvement in the war. Later on they were also shown to the general U.S. public to persuade them to support American intervention.

J19 - WORLD WAR II NEWSREEL FILMS 1937-1946, 4 DVD SET

This rare and unique collection has 85 newsreel clips of World War II. They take you through World War II in its entirety from start to finish. Most of the clips are a few minutes in length and the quality varies. The original reels were stored in poor conditions for decades before being released to be coded digitally. This is a must have collection for the war buff and is a great companion to our WWII 7 DVD film set

J20 - HUGE WORLD WAR II FILMS LIBRARY, RARE 7 DVD SET

You will see what the nation went through during this difficult time in our history and how a post depression country united and fought back against the evil on this earth.

DVD format and quality

All of our DVD's sold are formatted NTSC, without region coding. This means that they will play on any NTSC DVD Player in the world. The standard in USA is NTSC. For those in Europe, your DVD player may be a PAL format, which will not work. For those overseas customers, please verify that your DVD player can play NTSC disks.

Please note, that most of the films on our disks were made 40 years ago or more. Some perhaps as old as 80 or 90 years! As you can imagine, the movie making equipment of the time was a lot more primitive than the high tech equipment that they use today. Also, many of these films were stored improperly for decades before being digitally coded. As a result of this, these films are not what one would consider to be "DVD quality" today. Many, if not most, are black and white. The sound and picture quality is not perfect. There are those occasional "snap, crackle, and pops" across many of these films. We feel that these imperfections add to a film's charm, and provide for a more authentic viewing experience. WIth that in mind, this collection may not be for those wishing to find digitally remastered and professional recolored duplications of the original work in perfect DVD quality. Please keep that in mind prior to purchase, since we have fully disclosed that to you.

Catalog Number

This item is our catalog #C01. If you purchase another item with this same catalog number, you will get two identical items. Given this, we cannot offer refunds for customers who accidentally purchased two identical disks without reading this auction fully.

Questions and Answers:

Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special?

What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How many sellers will say that?

Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off?

No, of course not. But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will "claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them, they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for each additional item. We never do that. Our combined shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No tricky or cheap discounts. Just Buy 3, Get One Free. Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the content. You'll see that we not only offer more films per package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping, but also at the cheapest price too.

I live in country ABC, will your DVD work in my DVD player?

Short answer, probably. Long answer, it depends. There are two formats of DVD in the world. NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the standard for the US and I believe Japan, along with some other countries too. PAL is popular in Europe. If you have an NTSC DVD player (all USA customers), this disk will work for you. If you have a PAL player, this won't. Also, many commercial DVD's out there have region coding. Without getting in a long discussion on it, none of our DVD's have any region coding, so that won't be an issue. All you need to know is whether or not your DVD player is an NTSC format.

What if my disk arrives damaged?

We offer a no muss, no fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge.

Shipping and Payment information

Pay through PayPal using:

We are centrally located in America's heartland in the great state of Tennessee!

All items will be shipped out within 1 business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address. Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and payments tab above.

All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled with a clean label and some graphics. The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates into lower cost for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the material on the disk. We do not believe in charging you an extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item. We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best, although we still believe you will be pleased with the presentation.

PLEASE READ ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:

The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates, not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our estimates on what to expect:

USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at. However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few days longer than that. If the item does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right.

NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it.

Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above.

Feedback Policy:

Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out.

If you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a request!

If you have any questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us know. Thank you!!!!!!
