• Their Finest Hour: Opposing Genius | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Some people possess extraordinary talents. Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were two such men and each was to shape the destiny of their nation. One was to become the very symbol of evil whilst the other seventy years on is still admired and respected throughout the world. Their names seem to radiate the very worst and the very best of the human spirit. The strategic battles of Churchill and Hitler explain why the Second World War casts such a shadow over subsequent generations. This is an epic tale one that is on the one hand horrifying and on the other uplifting. Under their respective commands two leaders Hermann Goering and Hugh Dowding implemented tactics and directed the world's leading Air Forces in battles that were to shape the Western World. Their genius at a tactical level should not be underestimated. This DVD investigates how genius can be found in both strategy and tactics in both 'the big picture' and in the daily horrors of war.

  As news of the German surrender spread 8th May was declared Victory in Europe or VE-Day. Crowds took to the streets but the celebrations did not have the same hysterical joy as had greeted the end of the First World War. The second had gone on for longer and caused far greater world-wide death and destruction. It was the culmination of six years of bloody warfare which had devastated the continent and killed tens of millions of people and witnessed the true horror of the Nazi's Final Solution. People were exhausted and only too aware that the conflict must continue until Japan was also defeated.
