  The Revolutionary War is a powerful portrait of the epic war and rebellion that forged a nation and the American character.

• The Germans in Normandy - 1st Leibstandarte: Adolf Hitler SS Panzer Division | DVD | (19/07/2012) from £15.92   |  Saving you £1.07 (6.72%)   |  RRP £16.99

  Possibly the most famous of Hitler s SS panzer divisions was the Leibstandarte; it bore his name and shared his fanaticism. The Leibstandarte had proved itself to be highly effective in battle and had fought in virtually all of Germany s campaigns since 1939 justifiably earning the label elite . However constantly called back to the front to stem the advance of the Red Army on the Eastern Front the division was much reduced in power through loss of manpower and a paucity of equipment. In the spring of 1944 the Leibstandarte was again refitting in Belgium a process that was still under way when the Allies stormed ashore in Normandy. The effectiveness of Allied deception measures however kept them fixed awaiting the landing of Patton s phantom army in the Pas de Calais area. Consequently it wasn t until the second half of June 44 that the Division began its nightmare march to Normandy harried all the way by fighter bombers. Arriving at the front elements of the division were thrown into the battle piecemeal to prop up the crumbling German Army as Montgomery launched blow after blow on them. The Leibstandarte s first battle was to choke off Operation Epsom fighting the Scots and the West Countrymen of the Wessex Division in the dense hedgerow country of the Odon Valley. But perhaps their greatest achievement was halting the Great British armoured advance Operation Goodwood; a battle that has been characterised as The death ride of the British armoured divisions . As the Allied breakout gained momentum on the US flank Hitler ordered the Mortain Counter Attack against the advice of his Generals and the Leibstandarte marched west to cut the vulnerable American advance. Under cover of mist the battle started well for the Germans and desperate fighting with isolated GIs resulted but as the weather cleared the fighter bombers lashed the panzers who were forced back. The exhausted German Army fought its way back towards Falaise and seeming destruction by the encircling Allies. Forcing their way through the Corridor of Death a much higher proportion of the Leibstandarte escaped and the Division lived to fight another day. Production notes: The elite Leibstandarte is the subject of considerable fascination and study. This film written and presented by established historians and battlefield tour guides will strip away layers of myth and take the viewers to the places where the SS fought the British Americans and Canadians in one of the most costly battles of the Second World War.

• Jesse Owens | DVD | (15/10/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  On August 3, 1936, when Jesse Owens, the 22-year-old son of a sharecropper, entered the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, he was barely able to control his anger in the face of Nazi racism. But instead of letting himself be distracted, the young athlete channeled his raw emotions into one of the most remarkable achievements in athletic history: four gold medals in two days. Beginning in the poor Cleveland neighborhood where Owens grew up, this remarkable programme details his early career; describes Adolf Hitler's outsized ambitions for the 1936 Olympics; explores the movement in Western democracies to boycott the event; and explains the pressures on Owens to attend. The film also reveals the unlikely relationship Owens struck up at the games with his German rival and explores why, despite his success in Germany, Owens struggled to find a place for himself in a United States that was still wrestling with its own deeply entrenched racism.
