Synopsis:
Witness momentous World War Two events! We've delved into the archives of the famous Imperial War Museum in London to bring you the story of the conquest of Europe as it was actually reported in the cinemas of the day. Filmed by frontline cameramen, many of whom became casualties themselves, these newsreels are a fascinating record of how World War Two was fought, and of how the war was being depicted on the home front. The celebrations in newly freed France contrasts starkly with the grim events of autumn and winter 1944-45, as the German Reich convulses in its final death throws.
The invasion forces can now be counted in their millions, closing in from Russia in the east, Italy and France in the south and from Belgium and Holland in the west.
