Reviews

Good Set of Clips


(4 stars)

The only problem I have is that the Lord Haw Haw tracks are blank.

BLANK FILES


(4 stars)

EXCELLENT HISTORIES BUT QUITE A FEW FILES ARE BLANK

Education


(5 stars)

Listening to all of KM99's sound clips is equivalent to history classes in any of our colleges and universities.
