Guyuti Posted February 27 Share #1 Posted February 27 As the title says new Amazon prime series Victory at Sea Spread across 26 episodes, this Emmy-winning docuseries is the complete story of World War II at sea, culled together from archival footage shot by every major combatant nation. It might only work in the UK but give it a try, mostly black and white footage from the start of the war through to the end.

yankee clipper Posted February 27 Share #3 Posted February 27 One could not watch this series without being captivated by the Richard Rodgers and Robert Bennett musical score. Absolutely wonderful. capnharv2, Altduck, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Seiler Posted February 27 Share #4 Posted February 27 Upon checking Prime, I see it is available, but I would either have to rent at $.99 for 4 episodes or buy at $.99 per episode. If you buy full 'season' it is about $20. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, John Smith Shallop Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch 1/4 scale-Model Shipways plans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr PR Posted February 27 Share #5 Posted February 27 I have the entire series on DVD. I've had it at least 10 years and it cost less than $20. I have no idea how many times I watched this as a kid - every time it came up on TV. And then while in US Navy Officer Candidate's School we were shown episodes just about every day as part of our "training" (indoctrination). I still love to watch it! Gung Ho!

Roger Pellett Posted February 27 Share #7 Posted February 27 In the NROTC program Naval History was a 1 semester course, I believe sophomore year. Like OCS, Victory at Sea was part of the curriculum. Some guy, a fellow Midshipman was allowed to bring his stereo to class so we got full benefit of the music.
