Description

Here is one of those definitive WW2 documentary series produced by the BBC that I believe ranks right up there with "The World at War." The series, presented by William Woollard of Tomorrows World and Top Gear, describes the scientific advances and countermeasures by the British during the Second World War. The series contains rare interviews with people who took part in the events described. This torrent includes all 7 episodes plus the 3-volume VHS jacket covers:

This is my VHSrip and I think all the episodes are pretty good quality. Though the series is dated as well as some of the war information it presents, I believe it still has a very fresh quality to it that will spur you to watch it again and again - I know I have! Please enjoy! ;-)
