V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Lately, I've become addicted to watching video documentaries online. I thought it would be pretty cool to start at thread here for folks to post links to their favorite documentary vids. So, let me see... I saw this interesting one the other night: Area 51 Declassified https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JByUxV1X_pg&feature=youtu.be Enjoy! Don't forget to post some of your own favs here.

Webb Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hulu says this is a documentary. I can't resist WW2 documentaries. Soviet Storm - WW2 in the East Soviet Storm is a new and epic television history of the Second World War’s Eastern Front. Originally produced for Russian television, it gives an unprecedented eastern perspective on the war’s most decisive and bloody theatre, all depicted through stunning computer-generated imagery and reconstructions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Titanic - The Ship That Never Sank Entertaining conspiracy theory about Titanic being swapped for her sister ship the Olympic prior to her fateful voyage. https://www.youtube....h?v=WdxJp2fVXJ8 It's kind of amazing how having a few pictures and old film clips along with a story of some sort being narrated by someone with a Brit accent is often so convincing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Area 51 documentary is 100% legit. Hate to spoil it for the UFO folks, but there are no aliens in that documentary. It's the story of the CIA-run black op out at Groom Lake for the purpose of designing/testing reconnaissance aircraft like the U-2 and the forerunner of the SR-71 Blackbird. Watch it. It's very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The World at War is a 26 episode documentary. Anything available on YouTube is probably an illegal counterfeit. I noticed that this one has altered Sir Laurence's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Untold Horrors of WWII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptNwt8FxkGA It's not really that horrible. It's a series of stories about events during WWII: - the Norwegian/British operation to destroy the heavy water plant in Norway that was occupied by the Nazis. The Brits feared that Hitler was trying to make the "Bomb." - the Japanese mini-subs used during the attack on Pearl - the Kamikazi Edited October 2, 2014 by V.T.

Webb Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The Brits' fears were right. An atomic weapon delivered by a V2 would have been the ultimate weapon. Atomic weapons delivered by clunky propeller driven bombers proved to be the ultimate weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 thankful the nuke-tipped rocket did not happen until that war was over. Thankfully, the Nazi's weren't able to complete their nuclear program... If they had, the Allied Forces would probably have had to find another launching point for attacking Germany other than Great Britain. The loss of lives in Great Britain would have been horrendous.

Webb Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 If you went to school in the 60's you will remember this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08QDu2pGtkc Hemo the Magnificent is a one-hour Technicolor made-for-television educational film, released in 1957 by Bell Laboratories and directed by Frank Capra, and first telecast by CBS. It details the workings of the circulatory system. Although Time magazine gave it an extremely negative review [1], calling it "condescending" and citing it as an example of how the scientific information was presumably "dumbed down" by including cute cartoon animals, it quickly became a classic of the genre, featuring incredibly detailed television animations for its time. It is one in a series of nine Bell Telephone science specials telecast in prime time on commercial network television, from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s. All but one of these specials starred Frank C. Baxter; the last of them starred Walt Disney. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been around 1969. We saw it on a 16mm projector in the school lunchroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
