Summary |
These documentaries offer detailed accounts of the pivotal battles of World War II. Each episode covers one great battle, featuring portraits of the leaders and commanders, explanations of weapons and tactics, a review of the political and military situation leading up to the battle, troop deployment, and the story of the battle itself. The battle of Britain examines one of the largest, longest instance of aerial combat, as the British held off the Luftwaffe. The battle of France presents the Nazi Blitzkrieg at its most astonishing, as Paris falls in days.
