V.E. Day - War and Peace.

May 8th, 1945, the day World War Two officially ended in Europe. With Hitlers suicide in his Berlin Bunker on April 30th, the Third Reich fell under the control of his successor, Karl Doenitz. Under Doenitzs orders, General Alfred Johl was sent to S.H.A.E.F. (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces) to seek terms for an end to the war. After six years of conflict and the loss of millions of lives, the Nazi menace had been crushed and the war in Europe was finally over. This insightful program, made to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of VE-Day, charts the events that led to the end of the war, as well as the festivities that followed, along with exclusive interviews from many different sources and nations who witnessed it all first-hand.

This compelling documentary tracks the events that lead to the conclusion of the war in Europe. As the Americans create a bridgehead on the River Elbe, the Luftwaffe makes a last desperate attempt to counter the fury of the allies bombing of Berlin. Whilst Hitler visits the Eastern Front, the Hitler Youth builds barricades around the doomed city. But all is lost, as far as the Third Reich is concerned. The Russian Army launches a devastating attack along the Oder River, only forty miles from Berlin. The German surrender becomes inevitable, and the hapless city is divided up amongst the victors.

Churchills War

Winston Churchill succeeded to the highest office amidst turbulent and extraordinary events.  In the early 1930s his powerful warnings about the dangers of Nazi fanatacism had been dismissed as alarmist, but by the time he became Prime Minister, on the afternoon of May 10th 1940, his grimmest forebodings had been proven all too true.  Western Europe was a cauldron of war.  German divisions poured effortlessly into Holland and Belgium and had begun turning for the French frontier.  The prospects for Britain and her new leader were inconceivably black.  French intelligence estimated that Britain could withstand a German onslaught for no more than three weeks.  Hitlers forces had enjoyed unbroken and astonishing success, leading the highest levels of power in Britain to believe that Hitler could not be beaten.  Churchill alone never faltered,  announcing to the British people that his aim was Victory - victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror; victory however long and hard the road may be.  Given the circumstances, it was an astonishing goal to set before the exhausted nation.  What followed is now history, from the defeat of the mighty Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic against the U-boats to the annihilation of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front.  It is easy now to criticise Churchill.  Good commanders like Wavel were treated unfairly by him; the ill-fated convoy PQ17 set sail to disaster at the Prime Ministers insistence.  These decisions were, at the time, far from simple and whatever Churchills failings they are far outweighed by the splendour of his achievements.  From the very outset he recognised the Nazi regime for what it was and fought it unswervingly.  His masterful oratory not only inspired a nation but kept priceless hope alive in the hearts of millions enslaved on the Continent.  In President Kennedys words, Churchill took the English language to war.

The Holocaust - The Liberation of Auschwitz.

Etched deeply into the pages of history, Auschwitz conjures up images of death, torture and unimaginable human suffering.  At the time of the release only 18 minutes of the footage contained within this DVD had been seen in the west; despite it being used as damning prosecution evidence at the Buremburg Trials.  Recorded from January - February 1945 by a Soviet film crew attached to the 1st Ukranian Front, the programme tells the story of the liberation of the Auschwitz camp.  Captain Alexander Vorontsov, a member of the camera crew, describes the emotions that he and his comrades felt as they were confronted by the appalling scenes at Hitlers infamous death camp.  In the interest of preserving the original character of the material, the footage has been left unedited, emphasising the truly shocking nature of the crimes recorded.

The Holocaust - Dachau and Sachsenhausen.

Whilst Hitler sought the answers to his Jewish problem more and more centres of containment sprung up throughout Nazi occupied Europe.  Two such camps were Dachau and Sachsenhausen, and although perhaps not such recognisable names as Auschwitz, they were no less crucial in the persecution and extermination of the European Jews.  Under the watchful eye of Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and Hitlers right hand man, a series of containment, transit and death camps were built within Europe, to systematically cleanse all those people considered inferior by the Third Reich.  With the liberation of these two camps in April 1945, the true extent of mans cruelty to his fellow man would be revealed; the untold dead, inhumane treatment and squalid conditions would be laid bare for the entire world to see.

The Holocaust - Ghetto Theresienstadt.

Between 1941 and 1945 the small fortress town of Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia became a transit point to the death camps in the east for thousands of Czech, German, Austrian and Dutch Jews.  All those deported to Theresienstadt were led to believe it was an end camp from which they would travel no further.  They were promised a comfortable and peaceful life in the Reich home for the aged and were hoodwinked into signing over to the SS all of their properties and assets.  In reality, many would be sent on to death camps such as Auschwitz.  From 1943, following international concern, the Nazis developed Theresienstadt into a show camp, a propaganda exercise designed to conceal from the outside world what was really happening to European Jews.  A large scale beautification programme swung into action, giving the camp a pleasant and respectable facade, a deception that succeeded in shielding the terrible truth.

The Holocaust - The Yellow Star.

One hundred dead are a catastrophe; millions of dead are a statistic. - The horrendous observations of Adolf Eichmann.  This Oscar nominated documentary serves not only as a remembrance but a lesson and a warning for the future.  It follows the plight of European Jews during the terrifying period from 1933 until the final defeat of the Third Reich in 1945.  Never before had the world seen such contempt for human life on such a grand scale, the murder of an estimated 6 million Jews, with countless others persecuted.  During the 1930s a wave of national fervour swept through a tumultuous Germany; people looked for answers, and the politicians were all too willing to point the finger of blame towards the Jewish population.  Few, if any, could have foreseen how the views of one man would unfold... that man was Adolf Hitler.

The Holocaust - Ravensbruck and Buchenwald.

Ravensbruck: Women from more than 20 countries were incarcerated between 1939 and 1945 in the Ravensbruck concentration camp in Germany.  They were subjected to gross maltreatment, humiliation and some were tortured to death all in the name of the Third Reich.  The purpose of this documentary is to keep alive the memory of the fate suffered by these women and the inhumane treatment inflicted by their captors.  Buchenwald: After being established in the German town of Weimar in the summer of 1937, Buchenwald was to develop into one of the largest concentration camps in Germany, with approximately 250,000 inmates from some 35 different countries.  More than 50,000 were to die during the reign of terror, by torture, deliberate starvation and systematic culling.  Buchenwald was eventually to be liberated by US troops in April 1945.

The Holocaust - Majdanek.

Discovered by Russian troops in July 1944 the Majdanek Nazi concentration and extermination camp near Lubin was the scene of some of Hitlers most disturbing handy work.  Apart from using carbon monoxide, Majdanek was one of only two camps to use the deadly Zyklon B to poison victims in the gas chambers.  In the hands of the Nazis, the efficient use of these chemicals would result in the extermination of a massive number of inmates.  Majdanek was also unique among the death camps, in that Jewish prisoners did not form the overwhelming majority of its intake.  Of the total inmates only 40% were Jewish, 35% Polish and the balance predominantly Belarusionas, Ukranians, Austrians, French, Russian, Italians and Dutch.  This rare and stark documentary graphically portrays the methodical murder, starvation and torture of an estimated 2 million innocent victims and demonstrates the frightening efficiency of the German death camps.  Also captured here on film are rare scenes from a Russian post-war tribunal, where survivors are seen giving evidence against captured SS officers and camp officials, this evidence was often to result in the conviction and execution of those standing accused.

Europes Secret Armies - The French Resistance

By the time the feared occupation of France by German troops had become reality, French resistance had already sprouted its first tenuous roots.  Clandestine groups intent on disrupting and harrying the occupying force played no small role in bringing the Third Reich to an end.  Sabotage, propaganda and espionage were just a few of the methods adopted by the brave men and women of the French Resistance.

Europes Secret Armies - Germany - Resisting from Within.

Far from being willing participants in the Wehrmachts march across the world, many Germans openly or covertly opposed the Nazi regime.  Religious leaders, students and even his own generals conspired against Hitler through anti-Nazi material, sabotage and several unsuccessful assassination attempts.

Europes Secret Armies - The Polish Resistance

Unlike many of the other European countries that suffered invasion during World War Two, Poland had the unenviable task of fighting foes on two fronts; the Germans from the west and the Russians from the east.  As a direct result the Polish resistance fashioned itself into one of the most professional and successful underground forces in Europe.  From S.O.E. trained Cichociemni to the Jewish population in Warsaw ghettos, the spirit of the Polish people proved indestructible beneath the Nazi jackboot.

Europes Secret Armies - The Mountain Men of Crete.

Its geographical importance in both German and Allied planning for the domination of the Mediterranean and Africa was to prove Cretes downfall.  As the Germans mounted Operation Mercury a ragbag collection of defenders readied themselves for the onslaught.  Nazi intelligence had assured the attacking force that their presence on the island would be welcomed by the presumed docile inhabitants.  The local Cretans, along with an eclectic mix of Allied troops, would prove that intelligence flawed.

Europes Secret Armies - The Secret Armies of the Low Countries.

Focusing on the plight of the Dutch people, this DVD examines the resistance which confronted the Germans during their occupation of Holland.  In a regime where distributing anti-Nazi leaflets carried the same punishment as being found with a gun, the men and women of Holland showed extraordinary bravery as they sought to regain their independence.  Featuring interviews with surviving resistance fighters, this programme explores the stories of individuals and a nation that refused to succumb to fear.

Europes Secret Armies - Norwegian Heroes.

A crucial vantage point for both Allied and German planning, Norway found itself in a tug-of-war throughout the early years of the Second World War.  During that time the only constant was the unflappable commitment of the resistance fighters.  The disabling of the heavy water plant in Vermork was just one example of the professionalism and skills of these people.  Working alone or with the help of the S.O.E., Norwegian men and women refused to roll over and proved invaluable in bringing an end to Nazi domination across Europe.

   
   

 

 

 

D-Day  Assault on Fortress Europe

1944 - 2004 The 60th Anniversary

Early in the morning of 6th June 1944, a vast and bizarre armada ploughed steadily against stiff headwinds through the rough waters of the English Channel, heading for the Normandy coast.  Amongst the 5,000 vessels were many of the best British and American warships of stupendous collective firepower, as well as ancient battleships and tankers on their last voyage, destined to be sunk to provide breakwaters.  Thousands of the craft had been built to make one short journey only; to ferry the invading allied forces, together with their immense diversity of equipment on the last difficult, dangerous stretch from the transports to the shore of enemy occupied France.  It was D-Day.  Four years in the planning, two in the organising and one day in the execution, the landing in Normandy was easily the largest and most extraordinary combined military operation ever attempted.  It was also a crucial one, had D-Day failed the Western Allies would have found it impossible to launch to launch another operation for at least a year or more and today's map of Europe might have been very different.  One of the millions taking part in the landings, Admiral Ramsay, was famous for his dislike of the slightest exaggeration.  As Operation Overlord got under way, he told his officers "Gentlemen, I am sorry about all the superlatives, today they happen to be true". Here is that story.

Battle of the Bulge, Crusade in Europe

By mid December 1944, the Allies had penetrated the German border, and were threatening to push the entire battle line into Germany. The Germans attacked after preparations were completed in the greatest secrecy, on December 16th. It was a blow of staggering proportions. The Nazis employed three armies for the assault, totalling some 14 infantry, and 10 panzer divisions. On the morning of December 17th, it became clear that the German attack was in great strength. They were employing considerable armour and were progressing rapidly to the west. Later that morning the Nazis tore two gaps through the Allied line. When the US 7th Armoured Division came down from the Northern flank, the situation was still unclear. Finally, on January 16th, with the meeting of the US 3rd and 1st Army, the Battle of the Bulge was over.

 

VJ Day The War in the Pacific

The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on 7 December 1941, left the United States stunned and outraged. The 3,581 military personnel killed and wounded that Sunday morning dramatically brought the reality of war home to every town in America. Even as President Roosevelt talked of "The day that shall live in infamy" in asking congress for a declaration of war against Japan, tens of thousands of young men were lining up at recruiting stations across the United States to enlist in the Armed Forces. 

This video is a definitive look at the historic events from that first fateful attack to the conclusion of World War II, featuring rare colour and black and white footage of the historic battles, including Midway, Guadalcanal, the invasion of the Philippines and the dropping of the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, through to the final surrender agreement at Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945.

Guns For Malta

During the Second World War, more than 14,000 tons of bombs were dropped on the tiny island of Malta, damaging or destroying 30,000 buildings. yet the besieged Allied forces operating from Malta were instrumental in altering the course of the whole war.

Packed with archive action, including AA Gunner Stan Fraser's private cine film, this documentary shot on location in Malta, vividly portrays why the island was awarded the George Cross. 'Guns of Malta' is considered to be the most complete film record of the siege. Her Majesty the Queen is featured at the dedication service of a memorial bell. The bell was commissioned by members of the George Cross Island Association to act as a permanent memorial to the 7,000 men, women and children who gave their lives during the battle.

British, Canadian, German and Italian pilots discuss the air war. We accompany Spitfire aces Bob Middlemiss and Laddie Lucas along with Hurricane pilot Don Stones back to their old mess at Mdina, where they recall the tactics, the humour and the drama.

Under the sea the greatest submarine battle in history was being fought. John Wingate, who served in the "Fighting Tenth" flotilla explains why he believes the tiny u class subs "won the war". Other veteran submariners recollect the dangers of underwater operations in the Mediterranean.

Dunkirk - Battle for France

"So long as the English tongue survives, the word Dunkerque will be spoken with reverence".  The glowing language with which the New York Times greeted the extraordinary rescue of the beleaguered British Expeditionary Force from otherwise certain defeat and captivity on the continent, was in many ways typical of the time.  In Britain, despite Churchill's stern reminder that "wars are not won by evacuations", a tangle of myths quickly sprung up around Dunkirk, which came to be regarded almost as a major victory.  A major victory it certainly was not.  Dunkirk was a brilliantly executed withdrawal of land forces - minus all their equipment - across the Channel, following a series of unparalleled military disasters.  Indeed, to the Germans, Dunkirk was virtually a sideshow.  Intent on completing the conquest of France, Dunkirk became a bitter symbol of British betrayal.  Quarrels and misunderstandings had beset the Alliance, and at one stage the British were near to systematically deceiving their partner.  Yet the evacuation owed much to the unstinting bravery of the French troops fighting at the Dunkirk perimeter or beyond, and gratitude was not wanting.  The visions conjured up of a ragged fleet of fishing boats, yachts and dinghies sailing the channel, their pilots risking life and limb to save our soldiers from certain defeat and captivity, is vividly realised using very rare footage only recently obtained and painstakingly reassembled.

The History of World War Two     -    The German Invasion, The Allied Response

Britain's response to Germany's Blitzkrieg invasion of Poland in 1939, was the British Expeditionary Force, sent to Europe to prevent the Germans following their successful airborne invasion of the Low Countries, with an armoured assault against France.  The BEF's enforced, heroic withdrawal at Dunkirk left the RAF, under Sir Hugh Dowding, to win the Battle of Britain and postpone invasion plans indefinitely.  As World War Two entered its second, decisive, phase, the British Army showed its teeth at El Alamein where Montgomery's victory halted Rommel's armoured sweep through North Africa.  Further East, Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union proved suicidal: German surrender at Stalingrad left Russia poised to punch into the heart of the Reich.  In the Far East, Japan followed the pre-emptive strike at Pearl Harbor with rapid territorial gains before being pushed back from Midway by American naval might.  In Europe, RAF Bomber Command blitzed German cities as the D-Day invasion of Normandy was taking shape.  By April 1945, American and Russian forces had Berlin surrounded - the liberation of Europe was complete.  These momentous events are portrayed through front-line film footage and carefully researched contemporary accounts.

Know Your Enemy - Japan

The Second World War brought America and Japan within each other's line of fire.  America deduced that to defeat your enemy, you must first know your enemy.  This official orientation film, produced by the American War Department, introduced the ordinary American people to their enemy.  Containing authentic newsreel and captured enemy footage, it would educate the Americans regarding Japanese culture, traditions and history.  Produced at a time when the Americans were still at war with the Japanese, this was a propaganda film.  Despite this, it is lacking in the hatred and bias that such material normally contains; instead it attempts to honestly understand and explain the historic forces that led to the Pacific War.
