| Summary: | Apocalypse brings a 21st-century perspective to the Second World War, the deadliest and most destructive conflict of all time. Using archival footage -- most of it previously unseen and now colorized -- the series takes a very human look at the enormity of the conflict through the eyes of the people who lived through it: the front-line soldiers, the victims, and the political and military leaders. Using mostly unfamiliar footage -- including home movies shot by soldiers and civilians -- this series brings you the ultimate re-telling of an era of courage and fear, offering a comprehensive new examination of history's most devastating war. Episode two, Crushing Defeat (1939-1940), covers the fall of Dunkirk, the Campaign of France, and the Battle of Britain. |
