When it comes to the subject of war there are few conflicts that loom Iarger in our minds than the Second World War, fought between 1939 and 1945. Many of us can remember relatives and friends who were invoIved in the conflict but as the years go by, passing on the Iessons Iearnt from WorId War II to each new generation, becomes ever more important. War Diaries are a fascinating series of documentaries that chart the events of WorId War lI year by year, using unique archive footage to take you back in time to see what actually happened when the world went to war. In this fifth film of the series 1943 , watch the cracks start to appear in Hitler's plans for world domination. Beginning with the totaI destruction of the German 6th Army by the Russians, and defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad, the Nazis then Iet North Africa slip away from them at the BattIe of EI AIamein. With notabIe GeneraIs like Eisenhower, BradIey and Patton, the Americans were working cIoseIy with the British and such co-operation was paying dividends. After further victories in North Africa, see the Allied advance towards ltaIy, as ChurchilI, RooseveIt and StaIin met in Tehran to finaIise plans for a major invasion of German occupied Europe, code named Operation Overlord. 1944 was going to be a very interesting year indeed.
