The World at War - Vol 5

Film Description

World War II radically changed the way we think and live. First shown in 1974, Thames Television's account of the struggle echoes week by week the historical trajectory of Allied fortunes from hopelessness - Warsaw, Dunkirk, Singapore - through hope renewed - Midway, Alamein, Stalingrad - to hope rewarded - Kursk, Normandy, Berlin - but never loses sight of the terrible human cost. With astounding archive footage and personal accounts delivered by Laurence Olivier's sonorous narration, this remains of the most powerful moments in our television history.
