Twelve O'Clock High (2001, VHS)

"Twelve O'Clock High" Definately belongs in a VHS video collection. This particular film is the 2001 issue in a NTSC VHS format. I'd suggest that adults review the film before allowing their small children to see it but I personally don't see a problem, it's just directed toward an adult audience. It's interesting, now that I live in Germany, to see the targets mentioned in this movie and the absolute devastation created by these raids in spite of heavy ground and air defences. A TV series was later developed based on this movie. Many of the actors were veterans of WWII which adds to this movies credibility. Romanticized ideas intermixed with stark realism makes this a unique movie about WWII air warfare over Europe. Outstanding actual air warfare footage is used which historians and militaria collectors appreciate. Probably one of the best films on this topic available.
