The landmark 26 part TV series is coming out on bluray soon, but it's shaping up to be one of the most controversial remasters ever. In order to sell the show to Discovery, the producers had to reformat the aspect ratio to standard widescreen from the old TV aspect ratio. This meant reframing and cropping. Reviews are turning up with screen grabs of Hitler with the top of his head cut off, and Amazon is packed with negative reviews already. Thankfully, you can still get the series in it's original aspect ratio on DVD at ebay for $33. I bought it and checked it out on my 10 foot projection system. It looks about the same as the bluray grabs... Except with a third more image. If you are interested in this series, I'd snap it up while you can still get the DVDs. I bet they'll be replacing those with amputated versions soon. Edit: Nitwit nitpick
