This illuminating ten-part series tells the story of World War ll through the ten most pivotal turning points in the conflict. Gripping story-telling illustrated with exquisitely restored and colourised archived films and supported by a global cast of stellar historians bring this crucially important era in history to life.

From Germany’s “Lightening War” on France; the RAF’s heroic defence of Britain; the bloody turning point at Stalingrad; the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; the American fight-back at Midway; the Allied landing on Normandy and the doomed German counter-offensive; the liberation of the death camps and the dropping of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is World War Two as you’ve never seen it before.
