Rent The Somme 1916: From Both Sides of the Wire (2016)

To commemorate the centenary of the Battle of the Somme BBC2 presents a three part documentary series chronicling for the first time on television a history of the battle from both sides of No Man's Land. Historian Peter Barton with access to little known German military archives investigates the documents that reveal a very different story of how the campaign on the Somme unfolded. This new narrative questions many of the myths and untruths that still surround a battle that still haunts us a hundred years on.
