Introduction

From the Blitzkrieg of France to the Allied invasion of Berlin, witness the most influential battles of WWII – in colour.

Outline

In the fall of 1944, Allied confidence was high. Flush with success after Normandy, they pushed into Belgium and advanced toward the German frontier. They had no idea that the war was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would result in the US Army’s largest and bloodiest conflict of World War II: The Battle of the Bulge. Stunning, newly colourised combat and newsreel footage plus personal memoirs take us to the heart of a battle that would be a catastrophic blow to both sides and leave a muddy graveyard across East Belgium.
