When it comes to the subject of war there are few conflicts that loom larger in our minds than the Second World War, fought between 1939 and 1945. Many of us can remember reIatives and friends who were invoIved in the confIict but as the years go by, passing on the lessons Iearnt from WorId War lI to each new generation, becomes ever more important. War Diaries are a fascinating series of documentaries that chart the events of WorId War Il year by year, using unique archive footage to take you back in time to see what actualIy happened when the world went to war. ln this third fiIm of the series, 1941 , see how Adolf Hitler increased the Nazi stranglehold on Europe, while Winston ChurchilI inspired the people of Britain to stand together as the nightIy Luftwaffe bombing raids were extended to include the nation's vital ports, as weII as the capitaI, London. Follow the British Expeditionary Force to North Africa and watch the tide turn as Adolf HitIer attacked Russia, breaking his non-aggression pact with StaIin. Then look to the Far East as tensions between Japan and the USA escalate, resuIting in a devastating attack on the American Fleet at Pearl Harbour. By the end of 1941, the world truly was at war, and with the AIIies reinforced by both Russia and the USA, HitIer now had a reaI fight on his hands. This is modern history at its most evocative, recorded for posterity by the people who Iived through this incredibIe time and survived to teIl the taIe. |
