World War Ii: Secrets From Above: Season 1

Matching archive film and photography to their original locations, this series charts the most extraordinary events of WWII from a unique perspective.

In 1942, Hitler wants revenge for the relentless bombing of German cities; in a secret research facility, his scientists are developing the world's first cruise and ballistic missiles.

December 1944 - Hitler launches an all-out assault on the Western front across Belgium and Luxembourg; vastly outnumbered allied platoons face off against entire German battalions in a series of David Vs Goliath attacks.

By 1943 Hitler's marauding armies have steamrollered across Europe; the allies can't compete on the battlefield, so the commanders plan an audacious attack on the booming industry, which is producing German tanks, submarines and aircraft.

In May 1940, 400,000 Allied troops are surrounded by Hitler's army on the beaches of Dunkirk; deep in the tunnels under Dover Castle, the Royal Navy plans a rescue mission; success or failure could decide the outcome of the war.

1945, Stalin is waging a war of annihilation against Nazi Germany. On the eastern front, more than a million Soviet soldiers storm into Berlin. But to achieve their prize, the Red Army must defeat several German strongholds.
