<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm up to episode 10 on the first disk. I must say that I find the video quality substandard, and the audio level is way way too low. But I'm enjoying VICTORY AT SEA again anyway. I did see it on TV in Portland back in the 1950's, and The History Channel runs a bunch of them now and then. FYI: The 16mm film versions I've seen (30 years ago) were crystal clear.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Cecil: We must be of the same generation. I, too, remember the War years, and I have Victory at Sea also. Really worth it. I also managed to get a Special Set from Disney called "Victory Through Air Power" by Alexander De Severski. it's animated by Disney, also has a bunch of War time Disney Cartoons, and some propaganda shorts about conserving for the War.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There are many things that I remember about WWII, but today my letter flipper (mail man), dropped the 2 DVD, 26 epasodes (12 hours total), of "Victory At Sea" through my mail slot. A very great buy!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I remember rationing, and the day I spilled a new 5 pound bad of sugar in the wood shed. Yikes!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I remember the really bad synthetic rubber ballons produced near the end of WWII. We didn't have to pay for them until you inflated them and they didn't break (Foster, Or, general store).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I remember the GI's who took a rest break in our barn.... That I almost burned down a few years later.</FONT></DIV>
