NEWS Shopper has five copies of the WWII Lost Films DVD box set to give away, courtesy of our friends at HISTORY and Go Entertain.

HISTORY’s visually astonishing landmark series WWII Lost Films presents the story of the war ― viewed through the eyes of 12 soldiers, journalists and medical personnel who fought in or contributed to the war effort.

WWII Lost Films draws upon more than 3,000 hours of World War II footage unearthed from archives and private collections across the globe.

HISTORY preserved and restored this footage ― some of which has not been seen since the 1940s ― and converted it to high definition for unprecedented clarity.

Featuring the voices of well-known actors such as Rob Lowe, Amy Smart, Steve Zahn and LL Cool J, WWII Lost Films paints a detailed and moving portrait of life on the front lines through the diaries of 12 American servicemen – from Jewish émigré Jack Verner, who escaped Hitler’s Germany only to find himself fighting in the Pacific, to Shelby Westbrook, a young African American who flew with the famed Tuskegee Airmen.

One of HISTORY’s biggest ever projects, WWII Lost Films sets the standard for other history series to aim at, with a wealth of original sources, HD colour technology and remarkable stories filmed around the world allowing viewers to witness the triumphs and tragedy of the Second World War like never before.
