Matching archive film and photography to their original locations, a look at the most extraordinary events of WWII from a unique perspective.
In 1942, the Nazis develop the world's first cruise and ballistic missiles. The Allies try to stop Hitler before he rains down terror from above.
1945, Stalin is waging a war of annihilation against Nazi Germany. On the eastern front, more than a million Soviet soldiers storm into Berlin. But to achieve their prize, the Red Army must defeat several German strongholds.
By 1943 Hitler's army had been waltzing through Europe for almost three years. The Allies gather the crème de la crème of their air forces for one of the most daring bomber missions of the war.
December 1944 - Hitler launches an all-out assault on the Western front across Belgium and Luxembourg. In small towns, vastly outnumbered Allied platoons face off against entire German battalions in a series of David Vs Goliath attacks that pits superior Nazi weaponry against American mettle: The Battle of the Bulge.
In May 1940, Hitler's army has 400,000 Allied troops trapped on the beach at Dunkirk. The Royal Navy plans a daring rescue mission which, if successful, could turn the tide of the war.
