Plots(1)
A testament to the courage and sacrifice made by those who paid the ultimate price for victory. Shot entirely in colour, this award-winning series recounts the complete history of World War II as never seen before. WWII was a truly global conflict fought in extraordinary terrain over four continents. This remarkable programme takes us right to the front lines of combat and into the daily lives of servicemen taking on their enemy face to face. Packed with dramatic colour footage, this programme puts you at the front lines but also at home with the civilian population, who suffer the burden of rationing, terror and concern for their loved ones overseas. This is a story of bravery in the face of extreme hardship. (official distributor synopsis)
