• The World War 2 Archives - The Japanese At War | DVD | (10/11/2008) from £16.16   |  Saving you £-6.17 (-61.80%)   |  RRP £9.99

  This series of programmes tells the complete story of World War II through fascinating archive footage that has become a living history of the incredible series of events that shaped the future of the entire human race. For the majority of people when considering the events of World War II it is the activities of Adolf Hitler that will invariably first spring to mind. Nevertheless particularly as the conflict progressed the war in the Pacific arena became ever more significant as the Japanese advanced through neighbouring territories equally as fast as the Nazi war machine stormed through Europe. Historically and culturally the Japanese at war presented the Allies with an enemy that was incredibly difficult to read fighting to the death in some of the most inhospitable terrain known to man. Watch this remarkable story unfold through the eyes of those who experienced the conflict with archive images of the events as they developed. From the great naval battles to the brutal hand to hand jungle warfare that characterised so many of Japan's engagements see for yourself what happened in the Far East and the impact it had on a global scale. Although Victory in Europe came with the suicide of Adolf Hitler it ironically would be the Japanese who continued to the last with a culture of no surrender. This programme explores every aspect of the Japanese at war demonstrating why America had to go to such desperate measures to bring about a lasting peace.

• Germany at War | DVD | (10/06/2013) from £12.13   |  Saving you £2.86 (19.10%)   |  RRP £14.99

  Before the Second World War, the technology linked with aeroplanes was still very much in its infancy. As the thirties reached their conclusion, the increasing probability of war meant that there was an increased surge in the development of aircraft to provide an additional form of warfare to both sides. In July 1936, these advances in technology were being put to the test by Hitler during the Spanish Civil War, where the Germans aided the nationalists and honed their Blitzkrieg attacks. However, the Second World War saw the first large scale aerial battles in the history of warfare, with all nations relying heavily on the aeroplane. Even though the risk from enemy bombers was expected on most large towns and cities throughout Western Europe, the defence against such attacks were extremely poor. It was almost impossible to believe that the long range Bombers would cause such devastation. Anti-aircraft guns and barrage balloons were still very much in their infancy and their successes against enemy aircraft was limited. It wasn't until the latter years of the war that truly efficient countermeasure were introduced. These two films contain over fifty minutes of captivating footage on air warfare, ranging from the mass dogfights between allied and enemy fighter planes in the skies to the impressive anti-aircraft defence units found in towns and cities. These Flak guns were often massive pieces of machinery that could bombard enemy planes with shells, with the German 88 becoming one of the most famous and lethal AA guns in history. The extraordinary battles in the skies between fighters and bombers are documented using original footage from onboard cameras, excerpts of which have only recently been discovered and have never been seen before.
