A fascinating DVD which documents the rise and fall of one of the most infamous and intriguing political parties. From their ideological roots and unsuccessful attempts to win power to their complete dominance over Eastern Europe this DVD charts their successes and failures both in and out of power. Adolf Hitler's key role at head of the party had great impact on their fortunes but this compelling watch offers up some lesser known factors which helped propel them into power. Looking at both their successes as a party such as helping to bring Germany out of economic depression and reviving the passion of the people to their catastrophic decisions and policies which brought about a deadly Second World War and the calculated murder of over 6 million people in the Holocaust this DVD really offers a captivating and in-depth look at one of the most significant eras in our history.

Nearly three decades on, is Anvil! The Story Of Anvil finally the film that finally gives This Is Spinal Tap a run for its money? Quite possibly so. The recipient of far-reaching acclaim, and with a real run for being named film of the year, this is a superb documentary, that is all the more staggering for being true. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil follows the band of its title, a heavy metal group who enjoyed moderate success in the late 70s and early 80s, but kept going even when the light of fame and success shone elsewhere. Thus, we meet the bands members--Steve Lips Kudlow and Robb Reiner--as they hold down day jobs, record an album and head off on a European tour that could have been taken straight out of the Spinal Tap playbook. As Anvil! The Story Of Anvil develops, though, theres a drama at the heart of it that mixes in with the many frequent laughs. And, as it turns out, its a film that out of nowhere manages to move you, pretty much the last thing you expect of it. This is, and theres no two ways about it, a quite brilliant film, and one of the very best documentaries in some time. Its outrageously entertaining, very funny and yet human to the core. Anvil! The Story Of Anvil is going to take some beating, and dont be surprised if its another three decades before anything else comes close to it and This Is Spinal Tap --Jon Foster

Deadliest Catch takes you deep into the world of the Bering Sea as we follow seven vessels and their crews through the most brutal fishing seasons on the planet - Red King Crab and Opilio Crab. Forty-foot waves, hurricane winds, sleep deprivation, and operating heavy machinery on a pitching deck, are just a few reasons the injury rate is one hundred percent. The rugged Adventurers who fish these waters are the real draw. Crabbers have the mindset of pirates - high risk for high reward - and putting life and limb on the line is just part of the job.The crabbing season kicks off in October. Captain Sig Hansen, a 30-year veteran and a third generation fisherman, will match his skills against his old rivals, Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie, the Hillstrand brothers of the Time Bandit, and Captain Keith Colburn of the Wizard. The fleet will push hundreds of miles out to sea and fish four hundred feet deep in search of the prized crustaceans. The captains will strategize, and the crews will be pushed to their limits of mental and physical endurance as they repeatedly drop and haul the 700-pound crab pots. Before the season is out, the men will face down huge storms, severe injury, a ticking clock and each other to bring in the King crab harvest.Three new boats join the fray. The 78-ft Lisa Marie, the smallest boat in the fleet, will battle waves that seem to swallow the vessel.Aboard the Incentive, a team of old salts can’t find the crab. While on the Trailblazer, a crew is haunted by a near-fatal incident from a few years ago when a man went overboard only to be narrowly saved by Capt. Jonathan Hillstrand.

Book: The Battle of the Somme bookazine gives an in-depth understanding into what happened during the Battle of Somme split into 6 concise chapters: DVD: WWI Somme - Secret Tunnel Wars: Under the trenches and fields of the Somme lies a complex and extensive network of tunnels. Here, beneath the wastes of No Man s Land, British and German miners risked a terrible death in trying to undermine the enemy, laying charges that would wreak death and destruction in the tunnels around them and in trenches above. It was the most barbaric conflict of the Great War, a secret but deadly game of blindfold cat-and-mouse where it was kill or be killed: there was no second place for the loser. The slightest sound could be overheard. Detection meant counter-mining, and an explosion from nowhere that could tear you apart, maim, bury you alive or poison you with gas. At least 45,000 British soldiers worked beneath the Somme battlefields. But who were they? With unique access to both British and German workings that have been untouched and unexplored since 1918, we can explore these ghost tunnels, and reveal the lives and stories of the men who built, lived, worked and died in them. BONUS DISC: WWI THE GREAT WAR 1916 ALSO INCLUDES TRENCH MAPS
