• Their Finest Hour: Opposing Genius | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Some people possess extraordinary talents. Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were two such men and each was to shape the destiny of their nation. One was to become the very symbol of evil whilst the other seventy years on is still admired and respected throughout the world. Their names seem to radiate the very worst and the very best of the human spirit. The strategic battles of Churchill and Hitler explain why the Second World War casts such a shadow over subsequent generations. This is an epic tale one that is on the one hand horrifying and on the other uplifting. Under their respective commands two leaders Hermann Goering and Hugh Dowding implemented tactics and directed the world's leading Air Forces in battles that were to shape the Western World. Their genius at a tactical level should not be underestimated. This DVD investigates how genius can be found in both strategy and tactics in both 'the big picture' and in the daily horrors of war.

• Their Finest Hour: Pilots Of The Battle Of Britain | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £6.23   |  Saving you £6.76 (52.00%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Should God forbid France fall we will need every available aircraft and every trained pilot to defend the shores of Britain from the invasion force which most surely will come. These words written by Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding to Prime Minister Winston Churchill in May 1940 could not have been more true. There remained twenty miles or so of water between Hitler and Great Britain. Unless Hitler's Air Force had control of the skies between France and England any attempt to send an invasion force across that narrow strip of water would be disastrous. The stage was therefore set for an epic battle to control the skies over the English Channel and Southern England. Although aircraft production had been sufficiently increased fighter pilots took up to eighteen months to train. It was here that the RAF were in desperate need; and unless Britain's pilots could shoot down Luftwaffe aircraft at a rate of nearly four to one the RAF would be shot from the skies within weeks and Europe would become a secure fortress for the Third Reich. The defence of Britain and ultimately the free world therefore lay on the shoulders of a few hundred RAF pilots whose mission was to hold out at any cost... this remarkable new DVD tells the story of some of those pilots.

  As news of the German surrender spread 8th May was declared Victory in Europe or VE-Day.

It was the culmination of six years of bloody warfare which had devastated the continent and killed tens of millions of people and witnessed the true horror of the Nazi's Final Solution. People were exhausted and only too aware that the conflict must continue until Japan was also defeated.
