| 520 | |a New Germany, 1933-39: Discusses how Germany, after a humiliating defeat and deep economic depression, seeks new hope, pride and prosperity through National Socialism. Adolf Hitler leads the Nazi movement with the fervent support of millions of German citizens. Newsreel of the day and home movies taken by Eva Braun show Hitler as he must appeared to his people. | ||
| 520 | |a Distant War, September 1939-March 1940: Discusses how Germany invades Poland and bombs Warsaw into submission. Prime Minister Chamberlain is forced to bring an unprepared Britain into the war. Following the failure of the British expeditionary force to Norway, the Chamberlain government falls and is replaced by Churchill. The Nazi war machine rolls into the Low Countries and France. | ||
| 520 | |a France Falls, May -June 1940: Shows how the eyes of the world were on France, its huge army, its impregnable Maginot Line. But the French have mistakenly prepared for a War not unlike the First World War, and the Wehrmacht soon skirts the Line and forges South. Paris is occupied and France falls in a matter of weeks. The British retreat to the Channel coast as Hitler stands poised, ready to invade Britain. | ||
| 520 | |a Alone, May 1940-May 1941: Discusses the nearly 35,000 Allied troops, who are dramatically rescued at Dunkirk. British morale plummets but Churchill inspires his nation to fight on alone. The RAF heroically battles the Luftwaffe in the skies over London, but on May 10th 1941. London suffers its most destructive night of bombing with over 3,000 people killed or injured. It is only when Hitler's offensive turns to Russia that Britain gains a reprieve. | ||
| 520 | |a Barbarossa, June-December 1941: Covers time period Germany was master of all Europe, including the Balkans and then turns against Russia. The early stages are composed of devastating German victories as the Panzers sweep with appalling speed deep into Russia. But the German High Command delays, fatally, and the advance is held a few kilometers from Moscow when first the mud and then the fierce cold takes a merciless grip. | ||
| 520 | |a Banzai!: Japan 1931-1942: Features Japan as she seeks unrestricted access to raw materials for expansion, tires of negotiations and strikes at Pearl Harbor, inflicting a severe blow to American naval power. In a few months, Japan demonstrates how ill-prepared the Allies are, sweeping forward to capture Hong Kong, Burma, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines. | ||
| 520 | |a On Our Way, 1939-1942: Conflicts in Europe and the Pacific are two separate wars. Many Americans are content to forget about Hitler and Europe and concentrate their efforts on the Japanese. President Roosevelt is committed to the fight against Hitler, but Congress is not. Inexplicably, Hitler declares war on America, thus relieving Roosevelt of a difficult decision and, ultimately, altering the course of war. | ||
