Britain at War

The Blitz Years 1939-41,

At the end of 1939, Britain was plunged into the most brutal war ever fought.

Despite the terror, those left at home displayed enormous fortitude and courage.

This programme recollects those dart days with the newsreels of the time, to create a lasting tribute to the spirit of the home front.

 

The Long Years 1942-43

When the war entered the third year, a period of retrenchment began and Britain settled down for a long hard slog.

As rationing became part of everyday life, the newsreels played a vital role in encouraging the people of Britain to do their bit for the war effort.

 

The Victory Years 1944-45

As the allies prepared for the invasion of France, the home front was subjected to an invasion of a very different kind.

The American GIs arrived, sweeping many a young girl off her feet.

After the success of D-Day, Hitlers final terror weapon was the Doodlebug.

But Britain survived and the VE Day celebrations in London will never be forgotten.

 

 British Battles Of WWII

After the desperately close run victory in the skies over Britain, the allies were subjected to a period of constant defeat.

Firstly Norway the the low countries and finally France, culminating in the miraculous evacuation off the beach at Dunkirk in 1940.

But salvation was at hand with victory at El Alamein followed by the invasions of Algiers, Tunisia and eventually Italy.

After D - Day in June 1944 Britain and her allies once again had a foothold in Europe.
