I've compiled 3 short video's using all the ww2 footage i could find. I attempted to make it in chronological order, but of course, im not professional historian and there are probably plenty of flaws.
The thing that really makes my video's fun to watch would have to be the music. I used music from the famous world war 2 shooter, Medal of Honor. It has excellent music composed by Michael Giacchino.
I'm hoping that I can get a few more people to see it, that will appreciate it. took awhile to make each one, but they were fun to make.
My first video is from the beginning of the war, to the invasion of russia by germany. It isnt nearly as good as my next two, but its still pretty cool i think.

My second video is mostly about america entering the war, and mobilizing their economy. It has a pretty neat ending, and the final song in this one is actually from the game Rome : Total war.

My third most recent video is almost entirly dedicated to russia. This one may be a bit more innacurate around the edges, but oh well. Again, its all Michael giacchino music, and a lot of footage that took awhile to figure out what it was. I felt the most restricted by windows movie maker in this one, you will see why (mostly encoding issues).
