The World War 2 Archives - Winston Churchill And The Battle For Britain DVD

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. In the early years of World War II it seemed that Adolf Hitler was unstoppable but once Winston Churchill had become Prime Minister in 1940 things didn't ever go quite to plan for the German Fuhrer again. Within days of moving into Number Ten Downing Street Churchill had launched Operation Dynamo to rescue more than 300 000 Allied soldiers from the... beaches of Dunkirk. Despite the audacious rescue France still fell and as Adolf Hitler turned his attention towards Great Britain Winston Churchill and the people of the nation had a huge fight on their hands. This fascinating programme charts the first real fight back of the Second World War as the RAF took on the might of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain and quite remarkably won the day against all the odds. Then when Hitler ordered the Blitz determined to crush the spirit of the British and in particular the people of London he again underestimated the resolve of the island nation and its leader who played such an important role in the fight for freedom during World War II.
