By June 1944 Adolf Hitler had become convinced that the main Allied invasion of France would be launched against the Pas de Calais. Hitler therefore ensured that this section of the French coastline had been fortified at the expense of other, more vulnerable areas along the same coast. Even when the Allied forces began to land on the Normandy beaches, Hitler still refused to succumb to what he believed to be an obvious and deliberate deception. He maintained the heavy defences at the Pas de Calais...

This programme looks at the war that ravaged Europe. For the first three years Germany dominated the continent, beginning with the Blitzkrieg on Poland, Norway, Denmark, Holland and Belgium - to the fall of France. Followed by the long road back; when the allies went on the offensive and fought to free every inch of occupied Europe from Nazi rule, ending with the capitulation of Germany itself.

From the ashes of the fires lit in the dog-fights of the skies aboce the carnage of World War One, a phoenix would rise - the Luftwaffe of the Third Reich. No ordinary force, the Luftwaffe was to become the handmaiden of Hitler's dream of conquest and a vital component of "Blitzkrieg" or "Lightning War". However the glories won in Poland, Scandinavia, Holland, Belgium and finally France, as the Nazis marched, victorious, through Europe, were turn to sour.

For Kapitaen zur See and Fuehrer der U-boote Karl Doenitz the outbreak of war between Germany and the United Kingdom in September 1939 found the submarine arm of the Kriegsmarine unready for conflict. Nevertheless, Doenitz's 'Grey Wolves' were still able to inflict substantial losses on vessels carrying Britain's lifeblood. The conflict widened after the occupation of France and its ports gave the submarines direct access to the Atlantic shipping lanes, which in turn led later to a larger arena....

It is one of the enduring myths of the Second World War, that the German 'Blitzkrieg' victories of the early years of the conflict were achieved by their employment of a numerically and technologically superior tank force. In reality, the defeat of Poland and France, Yugoslavia and Greece and the remarkable victories in the opening stages of the Russian campaign and in North Africa, were wrought by German tank divisions equipped, in the main, with light tanks. The Panzer I weighed less than six tons...

The Panzer III emerged as one of the formative images of German military success in the newsreels produced by the Propaganda Ministry, documenting the Blitzkrieg victories of the early war years. While proving adequate to the task of countering allied armour in France and the Western desert, the fateful encounter with the superior Soviet T-34 tank, following the invasion of Russia in 1941, revealed the technical shortcomings of the Panzer III. Its days as a battle tank were numbered, but it could...

The army was still recovering from its defeat in France and could offer no real defence against invasion Britain had a strategy to meet the German threat, which was due to one man, Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding.Against enormous internal pressure, Dowding had resisted committing the majority of his Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons to the battle on the Continent, knowing that the major battle was yet to come - the Battle for Britain itself.

The fast moving Panzer Grenadier formations of the Blitzkrieg needed a mobile, well armoured artillery presence to support their lightning thrusts into Poland, France and Russia. They found it in the form of the Sturmartillerie. This is the story of the developments which led to the Wespe, Hummel and the super heavy mortars of the Karl series. This episode contains: Extensive use of rare footage from Russian, German and Allied sources. Superb 3D graphics to illustrate the design and development of...
