ORIGINAL POST
Movies focusing on World War II have been around since 1942, including everything from fictional tales with war as backdrop, to propagandist efforts and documentaries. Now, the History Channel and war film specialists Lou Reda Productions have just added to the deep legacy of WWII films with WWII in HD, a look at the war through the eyes of 12 Americans, a massive assembly of some of the most comprehensive WWII documentary footage ever released; in fact, the series is the first to show HD color images of the war. And you can win a 3-DVD set of WWII in HD, right here at Meet in the Lobby. (Please note: This is a standard DVD set of the series, not a Blu-ray version.)

To enter, just leave a comment for this post saying you’d like to win the DVD set. We’ll accept all entries through Wednesday, February 17 at 5pm ET, and select one random winner soon after.

This 3-DVD, 7 1/2-hour set includes
:: The 10-episode documentary film WWII in HD
:: Character profiles
:: Behind the scenes extras: Finding the Footage and Preserving the Footage

Enter to win the WWII in HD 3-DVD set
