Disc 1. British Battles of World War II 1 x 55:00 min Altough British Forces went into actionat the very outset of the WW2 in 1939, it was not until 1940 that the land war began. For the Allies it was the beginning of a period of constant defeat. First Norway, then the Low Countries and finally France fell to the Nazia. However, after the miraculous evacuation of the British Forces off the beach of Dunkirk, the tables were soon to turn. Disc 2. Desert Battles of World War II 1 x 55:00 min The desert wasteland of North Africa provided the setting for some of the toughest fighting of WWII. Yet it was here that Britain and her Allies found their early successes against the legions of Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini and then against Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps. These breakthroughs, particularly the victory at El Alamein in November 1942, are regarded as the turning points of the War. Disc 3. Battle of the Atlantic Battle of Britain 1 x 50:00 min The Battle of the Atlantic was a fight for Britain's survival. Not only was it the longest campaign of World War II, it was also perhaps the most crucial. The Battle of Britain, the desperate struggle to defend Britain's shores against the unrelenting German aerial onslaught, resounds through the years as the RAF's finest hour.
