WWII Battles in Color

1942. Nazi Germany's Blitzkrieg enters Egypt. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, a.k.a. the Desert Fox, has his eyes set on Cairo, but first he must overcome General Bernard Montgomery, the British Eighth Army, and the area's punishing fighting conditions. Though newly colorized footage and personal firsthand accounts, we enter the heart of the War in the Mediterranean, from German fighter aces dominating the skies to British battleships contesting the seas to the desert battle of El Alamein, which will ultimately decide the fate of North Africa.

July 1943. For six months, the German advance has stalled, but Hitler is convinced that his new generation of Nazi tanks will help put the Reich back on the path to European domination. His target: the Soviet town of Kursk. Through extraordinary archive footage—colorized for the first time—and firsthand accounts by those who were there, we tell the story of the greatest tank battle the world has ever seen, featuring gargantuan German Tigers facing off against hundreds of Russian T-34 tanks.

April 1945. The Soviets have gained control of Poland and have crossed the borders of Germany. The Nazis begin a desperate last stand, drafting in the old and the young to defend the capital of the Third Reich: Berlin. What follows is the greatest artillery barrage in history, including over a million Red Army troops and thousands of tanks. Rare newsreel and amateur footage, newly colorized, take us inside Hitler's crumbling empire and onto the front lines of the firefight for the streets of Berlin, a battle that will determine the fate of World War II.
