Battle of Britain

Description

The Battle of Britain air campaign was waged by the German Luftwaffe against the United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940. Vicious dogfights took place over some of the most densely populated land in Europe - 3,000 airplanes would be lost as well as 30,000 civilians. This program uses a combination of CGI animation and soldiers' own accounts of the events to tell the story and examines 60-year old aerial reconnaissance photographs that were misinterpreted at the time.
