Shot entirely in colour,
this award-winning series
recounts the complete
history of World War II
as never seen before.
Includes: Face to Face,
Air War, Anchors Aweigh
and Fuelling the Fire.
Face to Face: This
remarkable programme
takes us right to the
front lines of combat and
into the daily lives of
the servicemen taking on
their enemy face to face.
They endured a terrifying
and emotional struggle to
stay alive while
experiencing appalling
suffering and being
pushed beyond the limits
of hope. Air War: Of all
the assignments a
serviceman might find
himself undertaking
during WWII, flying
seemed to offer the
greatest promise of
glory. What was not
apparent to anyone in the
early years of the
conflict was that flying
would become the most
dangerous job of the war.
Packed with dramatic
colour footage, this
programme puts you in the
cockpit with the
courageous pilots of
WWII. Anchors Aweigh: For
the sailors and
submarines who fought in
WWII, combat at sea
differed radically from
any previous conflict. We
find ourselves shoulder
to shoulder with mariners
battling Kamikazes aboard
huge warships or guiding
troops to the shore off a
tiny landing craft. We
also venture beneath the
waves with the brave and
elite sailors aboard
submarines. Fuelling the
Fire: It has been said
that war is a hungry
beast that devours
everything in its path.
In order to feed that
beast during WWII, the
leaders of the allied
forces challenged
themselves to create the
most advanced supply
system in the history of
warfare. This is the
story of the men and
women who worked to
sustain the war effort by
delivering the supplies.
Without them the
war-machine would have
ground to a halt.

A portrait of evil. These
three remarkable
programmes, produced by
Russian Television,
reveal three of the most
fascinating stories from
Nazi Germany and the man
who ruled it: Adolf
Hitler. Failed
Experiment: Live
Broadcast for Hitler For
the Third Reich, the
newly invented television
had every potential to be
a powerful propaganda
tool, but it also had
unexpected consequences.
During World War II,
Germany gave birth to
entertainment television,
which did not align with
the plans of Nazi
leaders. Uncover hidden
records of the secret
meetings, directives and
correspondences that
attempted to control the
burgeoning industry. Kill
Hitler Probability theory
supposes that if you toss
a coin 100 times,
chances for heads and
tails are equal. However,
none of about 50
attempts on Adolf
Hitler's life were
successful. The attempts
began as early as 1922.
Long before he took
power, assassins fired
on his car and planted a
bomb where he was to make
a speech. This programme
delves into the archives
to reveal the truth
behind the many failed
attempts to kill Hitler
and examines how one of
the world s deadliest men
survived until he took
his own life in 1945.
Loving Hitler: The Fatal
Flight of Hess The
history of World War II
is rife with unsolved
mysteries. One of them
was Rudolf Hess's flight
to England in May of
1941. As a close
associate of Hitler,
there are no explanations
for why Hess flew to the
enemy nation. An even
greater secret surrounds
Hess's death, which for
years was considered a
suicide. Modern-day
experts now offer
shocking revelations and
a radically different
version of his sudden
death.

passion, skill and
determination to capture
the age of steam on film
before it was too late,
ensuring that, today,
we have an incredible
archive of footage
showing the great
locomotives, the
historic lines and the
beginning of the

Geoff Holyoake was one of

16mm film rather than
8mm, producing films for
commercial sale under the
Meteor Films banner. This
three-DVD box set brings
together some of the most
exquisite footage from
the Geoff Holyoake
Collection Includes:
Sixties Southern - The
last years of steam on
British Railways have
been well documented,
particularly in
photographs. During that
time moving picture
recordings were rare with
only the most dedicated
enthusiasts being able to
afford the use of cine
film. Geoff Holyoake was
among that number, and
this DVD features some of
the most evocative
sequences he captured.
Southern Region from East
to West - The Southern
Region of British
Railways was one of the
last parts of the
national railway network
to use steam locomotives
from the days of the
pre-grouping companies.
These helped maintain the
atmosphere of each of the
main constituent parts of
the old Southern railway
well into the 1960s.
Geoff Holyoake's
professional 16mm colour
cine films bring the
Southern region of the
1960s back to life.
Western Region in the
Sixties - During the
1960s the railways of
Great Britain were
undergoing a fundamental
change. British Railways
was rapidly scrapping the
faithful steam engine and
replacing it with modern
diesels and electric
locomotives. This DVD is
devoted to Geoff
Holyoake's record of
steam locomotives on the
old Western region and
the early preservation of
former GWR lines and
stock as the preservation
movement got under way.

The incredible stories of
courage during the First
World War (1914-1918) are
depicted in this 6 disc
DVD set. The Great War
ushered in the 20th
century. It was 'the war
to end all wars', that
set the stage for the
bloodiest century in
human history. Yet it was
more than just a war
between nationals. It was
a war between what was
and what was to be. The
'old world' was dying and
the 'new world' had yet
to be born. People of all
classes saw it was some
great cleansing fire that
would accelerate this
battle and lead to a
better world. But when it
was over, more than men
had died in the mud of
the battlefields; the
naive dreams of progress,
along with the innocence
of the pre-world war,
faith in God and hope in
the future all died in
the trenches of Europe.
