Nazi Mega Weapons returned to PBS this past Wednesday with their first episode of this new season - BLITZKRIEG!
I DVR'ed it and just watched it last night. Loved the historical discussion, the modern day trips to some of the WWII ruins and above all - some amazing German archival footage from the Reichswehr through Unternehmen Taifun. The modern day reenactments of early WWII weren't so good though - lots of issues with insignia, weapons, uniforms, etc. being out of place for the time period.
Overall definitely worth watching - you can catch it online at the link below or check your local PBS station listings as it has re-aired / will re-air a few times before next Wednesday's episode on U-Boats.
