• Gas Warfare of the First World War - 1914 - 1918 | DVD | (30/04/2012) from £2.39   |  Saving you £3.60 (60.10%)   |  RRP £5.99

  The Battle of Ypres in April 1915 saw the first use of a terrifying new weapon in the squalid trench warfare of the First World War - Poison Gas! Unleashed by the Germans, most of the Allied troops were totally unprepared for the choking green chlorine clouds; clouds that wafted into their trenches wreaking havoc and carnage to all those who breathed in the deadly toxic fumes. The first Gas Masks were simply a scarf covering the nose and mouth soaked in urine to counteract the deadly fumes! The Allies were quick to respond with many variants of poisonous gas and innovative new ways of delivering it from the simple gas cannister and gas shell to the Livens Projectors that could deliver multiple salvoes of this ghastly weapon. Gas Masks were quickly improved on both sides. Unique footage from The Imperial War Museum takes us through the evolution of the gas mask and all the detoxification procedures that the troops had to go through as explained in graphic detail by celebrated military expert Major Tonie Holt. Allied troops were alerted of pending gas attacks by the Strombos horn, the Rattle, Gong or Triangle. Dug-outs and trenches had to be cleared of gas. Horses, dogs and local children had to be protected and there is an as yet unseen visit to the Boots Factory in Nottingham to witness the manufacture of thousands upon thousands of gas masks destined for the battlefront. We see both British and French Tank warfare where the crews inside these hot, dark, noisy beasts were forced to wear gas masks as well. Finally, the Germans introduced an even more wicked concoction - Mustard Gas that could cause blisters on the skin the size of a tennis ball. Bonus Feature: Gas Warfare Into the Second World War - the story continues into the Second World War and explores the preparedness to meet the fear that Germany and Japan would use poison gasses on civilian populations to achieve their goal.

  The Islanders' War is an award-winning documentary that tells the story of the Falklands Conflict in 1982 through the eyes of the people who lived through it.Viewers are taken right into the heart of the action as Vulcan bomber pilots recall their seemingly impossible mission to bomb a Falkland airstrip. We hear from Simon Weston who recounts the moment that a 500lbs bomb tore through HMS Sir Galahad killing 48 Welsh Guards. Finally, the heroic deeds of the islanders themselves are brought into focus.They transmitted vital radio intelligence, took clandestine photographs of Argentine positions and carried ammunition, food and men to the front lines while often under shell and mortar fire. It is a story of bravery and defiance at great personal risk and their immense contributions to the British cause will never be forgotten.The second documentary in this 2-disc set examines how Argentina's leaders miscalculated Margaret Thatcher's resolve to retake the islands. It caused the downfall of General Leopoldo Galtieri and eventually led to the restoration of democracy in Argentina.

  Two in the Wave is the story of a friendship and estrangement. Jean-Luc Godard was born in 1930; Franois Truffaut two years later. Love of movies brings them together. They write in the same magazines Cahiers du Cinema and Arts. When the younger of the two becomes a filmmaker with The 400 Blows which triumphs in Cannes in 1959 he helps his older friend shift to directing offering him a screenplay which already has a title A bout de souffle or Breathless. Through the 1960s the two loyally support each other. History and politics separate them in 1968 and afterwards - when Godard plunges into radical politics but Truffaut continues his career as before. Between the two of them the actor Jean-Pierre Laud is torn like a child caught between two separated and warring parents. Their friendship and their break-up embody the story of French cinema. Exploring the letters personal archives and films of the two New Wave directors Two in the Wave takes us back to a prodigious decade that transformed the world of cinema.
