The Campaign: North Africa became the focus of attention. Once Allied troops were safely ashore, the commanders wanted to move out to meet the Nazis with all possible speed, before they could bring reinforcements across the Mediterranean. The problem was not a simple military one. Complicating the movements of our troops was the French political situation. In an attempt to reach Tunis before the Nazis could reinforce their position there, the British first army continued their punishing drive without letup. The remainder of the month of January and early February were employed in getting the battle lines properly organised, improving airfields and bringing up reinforcements.

Rommel Routed: The North African campaign entered its final phase. For six weeks the Allied advance had been stalled in heavy mud. Reinforcements had been brought up, and battle lines organised in preparation for the assault which was to bottle the Nazi's up in Tunis. The enemy too was preparing for the showdown battle. Some of the forces under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox, were reassigned to the North. The last frantic German drive to keep North Africa from falling into Allied hands was on.

Platform for Invasion: In preparation for the African Campaign, on the streets of English cities, American troops became a familiar sight. The major problem would be accommodating the two million Americans that arrived in Britain. That would be the immediate task. This friendly invasion vastly increased the strain on the population. The scarcity of supplies that had become so commonplace for every Briton, did not exist for the G.I. It seemed that the arrival of every American soldier made normal living conditions that much worse. In a short while, the United Kingdom became one gigantic airbase, workshop, storage depot and mobilisation camp.

Africa: Our First Offensive: Hundreds of Allied warships along with fast and slow moving convoy were steaming across the Atlantic toward a common centre in the north west of Africa. This was the greatest armada to sail into battle in the history of the world. The enemy would not know what was about to happen, until it was an accomplished fact. The invasion was split into three groups. The western task force sailed from the U.S. bound for Casablanca. The central and eastern forces left from the British Isles headed for Algiers. The Allied invasion of Africa was a most peculiar venture of armed forces into the field of international politics. The Allies were invading neutral country to make a friend.

The Story of the SAS

North Africa 1943. The SAS tally of enemy planes has surpassed 400. Hitler is Enraged. "These men are dangerous and should be hunted down at all costs..."

A precedent had been set that would never falter. The SAS was born. This is the remarkable story of Britain's elite fighting regiment. Diverse and mulit-faceted, it encompasses the relentless spectrum of human conflict. From the inhospitable deserts of North Africa to the deep, unchartered jungles of Borneo: whether it is scaling the precipitous Jebel Akdhar at night fully laden, or abseiling through the blast shattered windows of the Iranian Embassy - the SAS continue to redefine the role of Special Forces worldwide.

Using previously unseen footage and rare interviews, the story of the SAS provides an account of unparalleled tenacity and heroism.

The SAS: Who Dares Wins...

Colour & B/W. Running time approx 65 minutes. Price £7.99.   

Was this war, or a grim fiasco in the midst of the towering 19th century? A war with far flung conflicts that crushed old alliances, destroyed friendships and boundaries, while killing hundreds of thousands of human beings and their blooded horses.

Few things are remembered from this half forgotten melee: the Alma, Balaklava, the Sevastopol siege, Cardigan's Light Brigade disaster, hapless Raglan and unlucky Lucan, the poseurs Napoleon III and St. Arnaud; and then, the incomparable Florence Nightingale. Omar Pasha the Bosnian and the Ottoman Turks come to life as does General Prince Menshikov and other Russian incompetents.

This superbly researched, vibrant chronicle comprises over 1500 illustrations from the period and an evocative musical score.

The story of a day that changed a nation.

The great battle fought near the English town of Hastings on October 14, 1066 was perhaps the most significant in English history.

The bloody victory won that day by Duke William of Normandy over Harold II of England was to change the destiny of a nation forever. For, at the end of a day which saw the most savage fighting, the sun set not only on the dead and wounded which littered Senlac Hill but also on the entire Anglo-Saxon way of life. Featuring spectacular, atmospheric reconstructions and reenactments plus the powerful imagery of the Bayeux Tapestry, 'Hastings 1066' explores the dramatic story behind the most famous date in our history.

Special Forces

"There is a heroism beyond all, for which no Victoria Cross is ever given because there is no official enemy nor any sort of fire, except one volley in the early morning at some spot where the noise does not echo in the newspapers".  Rudyard Kipling.  It is an old military tradition that the uniform is to be worn with pride.  Yet some of the most highly regarded service badges are rarely, if ever, seen in public.  Their wearers, if they wear this uniform at all, are unlikely to be found in any grand victory parade, even when they have played a crucial role in securing victory.  Such men belong to what are usually called 'Special Forces'.  Shadowy, highly select units whose very existence is scarcely acknowledged by their own governments.  The right to wear the insignia of formations such as the Green Berets is not easily won.  Using rare and fascinating footage, we bring you the story of these men.

Elite Forces - Special Forces of World War Two

The paratroops have long been firmly established as the best-known of all "elite forces".  The idea of parachute troops was originally put forward in 1918, but it was not really until the Second World War that the modern paratrooper emerged.  The first units were almost entirely the creation of General Kurt Student, Commander of the German Airborne Forces, whose men carried out some of the most spectacular exploits of the war.  They played a key role in the lightning conquest of Normandy.  The supposedly impregnable Belgium fortress of Eban-Emael, designed to stop an army, was eliminated by a handful of determined attackers in gliders.  The capture of Crete in 1941 by a purely airborne assault remains the great classic of its kind.  The brilliant early successes of the German paratroops rapidly led to the creation of similar elite forces by both the British and the Americans.  Three Allied airborne divisions took part in the Normandy landings of June 1944: and although many of the drops went widely astray, the paratroops went on to achieve nearly all their objectives.  But it is not merely on the dazzling airborne actions that the paratroops' claim to fame is founded.  Deployed as elite infantry, their record is no less impressive, especially in defence - as was demonstrated so notably by the Germans at Cassino, the British at Arnhem and the Americans at Bastogne.  The paratroops provided some of the war's greatest heroes.  In telling the story of these remarkable men, this documentary uses only genuine archive footage, much of it never previously available.
