The Blitz: Days That Changed WWII (2020x27)

Ausstrahlung: Dez 27, 2020

The Blitz--Germany's incessant, aerial onslaught on London and surrounding cities--was designed to eliminate the English motherland. Instead, it served as a defining moment for Britain and a turning point for America's attitude about the war. This is the definitive story of the Nazi's unprecedented all-out assault on a nation's cities and morale, composed almost entirely of rarely seen archival footage and told through discovered civilian diary entries, military leaders' speeches, and war correspondents' dramatic accounts.
