This is the first in an unique trilogy that presents events leading up to World War II, as well as the war itself, from footage that would have been seen by the German nation at the time. The comprehensive commentary allows the viewer to understand the content of what is being seen, whilst placing these events in their 'whole war' context. The programme offers compulsive viewing as well as an invaluable resource for understanding World War II.
