Apocalypse-The 2nd World War(2008)Episode5-The Great LandingMTB

Apocalypse tells us about this huge conflict through the tragic destiny of those who went to war (soldiers) those who suffered from it (civilians), and those who ran it (political and military leaders). The "horrible yet familiar" war led to the deaths of 50 million men and women across the world - making for the first time as many civilian victims as there were military casualties.

This six-part series uses films, captured by amateur filmmakers, who witnessed the war first-hand the evacuation of Paris; the stoicism of the British throughout the Blitz; the hardships of the Russian campaign experienced by German soldiers. Deemed unfit for civilians to see, the films were stashed away and forgotten.
